What will happen if a partially inflated party balloon were heated?

The air molecules would expand, increasing the pressure of the balloon.
When anything gets cold, it contracts, and when heated, it expands.
Atoms and molecules are always moving - when something is hot, the molecules are moving faster and greater distances. When something is cold, the molecules are still moving, just slowly and at much smaller distances.
You won't see much a difference while it's partially inflated, though there would be one.
You can see results more drastically by heating a balloon that is near completely inflated.
The more air molecules that are in the balloon, the greater the expansion. In other words, the bigger the balloon and more air that's in it, when heated you will see a larger change in the balloon size.

Why doesn't an inflated balloon shrink when heated?
Because as the balloon is heated, the gases on the inside of the balloon begin to expand and press out on the walls of balloon. If a balloon is refridgerated, the opposite is true: the gases on the inside of the balloon will begin to contract, causing the balloon to shrink.
What happen to the balloon when heated?
It expands until the temperature is high enough to compromise the balloon's skin.
Inflated balloon that is taken from a heated roomto a cold outdoor?
The balloon will shrink when it goes outside. How much it shrinks will depend on the temperature difference. As temperature decreases the gas(ses) in the balloon decrease in volume causing the balloon to shrink.
What does a balloon do when heated?
the heat makes the molecules inside the balloon travel faster, pushing outward on the balloon. This, the balloon expands when heated
What if a balloon is heated what happens to the volume of the air in the balloon if the pressure is constant?
For a balloon that is sealed and not full the volume of air inside the balloon will increase as it is heated. This is not however how hot air balloons work. A hot air balloon is essentially a fixed volume when it is inflated. If the air inside the balloon is heated the air inside becomes less dense so some of the air exits the balloon via the mouth of the balloon. As the air inside the balloon cools it becomes more dense so some air is ingested via the mouth of the balloon to keep it full. With each heating and cooling cycle, the pressure inside the balloon remains constant, the volume of the balloon remains constant but there is this movement of air out of and back into the balloon.

Why an inflated balloon is heated why it bursts?
the heat caused the air inside to expand.

How an inflated balloon gets larger whwn heated?
The temparature was higher and it caused more air pressure
What will happen to a balloon's volume if its heated?
The kinetic energy of the particles inside the balloon increase. This then expands the volume of the balloon.
What happen to the balloon when heated?
It expands until the temperature is high enough to compromise the balloon's skin.

When a balloon is heated and its volume double what happen to its density?
It is reduced by haft
Inflate a balloon and tie it closed hold it over the flame observe what happens?
If a balloon is inflated and tied closed, then held over a flame, it will surely pop. The heat of the flame will melt the rubber that makes the balloon.
What gas is in a hot air balloon?
A hot air balloon is inflated with air and then heated by a propane fueled burner. The balloon contains air andthe products of combustion of propane, namely carbon dioxide, which is heavier than air, and steam, which is much lighter than air.

What happens to the mass in a balloon when heated?
the mass of the balloon increases because the size of the balloon has increased. :)
