The air pressure got to be less. The balloon expanded to the breaking point.

Would a balloon exploded filled with gas?
A balloon filled with hydrogen can explode.
Which has higher density balloon filled with water or helium?
I would say an air filled balloon if you fill it with just plain air. I am basing this on the principle of osmosis and diffusion. A substance such as a gas will travel from an area of increased concentration, such as a balloon filled with helium, to an area od decreased concentration, such as the room the balloon is in. If you fill the balloon with air identicle to that in the surrounding room it negates diffusion.
What can make a balloon float besides helium?
It depends on what the balloon is filled with.A balloon may float if it is filled with any gas that is less dense than air: hydrogen, helium, even pure nitrogen gas. However, the weight of the balloon will determine whether it can be lifted by the difference in density. So the most effective lifting gases are hydrogen and helium. Helium is used because it is nonflammable and noncorrosive. Early German dirigibles (zeppelins) were filled with hydrogen, and some caught fire, notably the Hindenburg in 1937.Larger balloons can be lifted by hot air, which is less dense than cooler air. If the air cools again, it will no longer provide lift.
Why does a CO2 filled balloon deflate quicker than a helium filled balloon given that helium atoms are smaller and monatomic?
Well...it's because they're not the same balloons. There is a product out there called Super Hi-Float. You coat the inside of a balloon destined to be filled with helium with it, and it helps seal the pores of the latex hence holding the helium in longer. You probably wouldn't do this with a balloon you're going to fill with CO2.
Why are birthday balloons filled with helium rather than hydrogen?
Although hydrogen is lighter than helium, so it could be used in a balloon, hydrogen burns very easily, so if it was exposed in heat it would create an explosion.
What small balloon used to carry meteorological instruments into the atmosphere?
Just a met balloon - meteorological balloon. Generally filled with hydrogen.
Which of a hydrogen filled balloon air filled balloon and a carbon dioxide filled balloon will deflate the fastest and which is the slowest and explain your answer?
A hydrogen balloon will deflate the fastest because molecules of hydrogen are the smallest and thus will more easily slip through the latex of the balloon. The carbon dioxide-filled balloon will deflate the slowest because these molecules are the biggest, and thus will have more trouble escaping the tiny pores in the balloon.
Are balloons filed with hydrogen?
They could be, but generally are not. Hydrogen can be an explosive gas in our atmosphere, and a spark could cause the balloon to ignite and explode. In 1937, the airship Hindenberg, which was filled with hydrogen, did so. Children's party balloons are generally filled with helium.
The Hindenburg was a balloon that exploded filled with what gas?
Hydrogen.
What happens when a helium-filled balloon is released and rises into the atmosphere?
It pops
Why a balloon filled with hydrogen gas floats in air?
bcoz hydrogen gas is less denser than air and is exerts buoyant force on balloon
Why does a hydrogen filled in balloon rise?
beecause hydrogen is less dense and light then air , easy to fly..the hydrogen in the balloon is lighter than the air outside of it.density of hydrogen is lower than air
Would a balloon exploded filled with gas?
A balloon filled with hydrogen can explode.
If you place a balloon filled with air into the refriferator the balloon will get smaller.The balloon undergoes what?
The air particles in the balloon compress due to the cold atmosphere in the refrigerator which causes the balloon to be smaller.
Can a hydrogen filled balloon float in vacuum?
no it will not. because a balloon filled with hydrogen floats only because it is lighter than air so when there is a vacuum it will not float. it is like oil and water if there is no water oil is on the bottom if there is water it is on the top.
How can you determine if a balloon is filled with helium gas or hydrogen gas?
Fill two balloons. One with hydrogen gas and the other with helium gas. Allow them to float on a piece of string. Taking a lighted/burning taper/splinter. , and burst the two balloons with the burning splinter. The helium filled balloon will just 'pop' and fall to the ground. The hydrogen filled balloon will 'pop with a flash of flame' So helium ; NO Flame Hydrogen ; A FLASH of FLAME.
Should weather balloons be filled with hydrogen?
Yes, hydrogen is lighter than air and so causes the balloon to float.
