What is the difference between a full and an empty balloon?
A full balloon contains more gas than an empty balloon (even an empty balloon contains a little air). Therefore a full balloon is heavier than an empty balloon (assuming the balloons are the same weight to begin with). However, if filled with a lighter-than-air gas, such as helium, the full balloon will defy gravity due to its increased buoyancy. The only other difference is that the skin of a full balloon will be stretched and will therefore be much thinner than the skin of an empty balloon. This stretching increases the pressure upon the gas contained therein, therefore the gas is compressed inside the balloon.
What does the balloon contain?
When empty, nothing.
What will happen to the balloon stretched over the mouth of this empty bottle when the bottle is placed in hot water and what are all the energy transfers?
the balloon will start to blow up by the heat
What happens to a balloon stretched over an empty bottle when the bottle is placed in hot water?
when you but the bottle in hot water the balloon particles push apart and cause expansion
Why is a balloon heavier when it is blown up with air?
This depends on whether you consider what is inside the balloon to be a part of the balloon, since the weight of the balloon skin will remain the same regardless of what is inside it. If, however, you consider the contents of the balloon to constitute a part of the balloon's mass then it will always be heavier when inflated, regardless of the density of the substance with which it is inflated. However, in this case the density of the balloon will fall when inflated if the contents are less dense than the material of the balloon, which is highly likely since the substance would probably be a gas. Therefore the balloon would be heavier but less dense.
What is the weight of an empty balloon?
There is no weight in an empty balloon. Empty balloons will not stay on the ground long enough to have any real weight.

Why must all you birthday balloons pop?
The air inside the balloons eventually escapes out of it so the balloon becomes empty of air.
If empty barrel weighs 10 pounds what can you put in the barrel so that it weighs less?
You could put a flexible bladder (balloon) filled with helium in it. The classic answer to this old question is: Fill it full of holes.
