Why does a balloon inflate when held in hot water?
When a balloon is held in hot water, the air inside the balloon heats up, causing the air molecules to move faster and spread out. This increases the pressure inside the balloon, pushing against the flexible walls and causing the balloon to inflate.
Why is hydrogen used to inflate hot air balloons?
Hydrogen is not used to inflate hot air balloons. Just regular air is used which is then heated to make the balloon more buoyant as hot air weighs less than cold air. Hence the name hot air balloons.
Why do you have to inflate a hot air balloon before setting off?

How can you blow air in or out to inflate a balloon?
To inflate a balloon, you can blow air into it by using your lungs to push air out of your mouth and into the balloon. Alternatively, you can use a pump to push air into the balloon.
What will happen if you put a balloon in hot water?
The air inside the balloon will expand due to the heat, causing the balloon to inflate. If the water is hot enough, the balloon may eventually burst due to the increased pressure from the expanding air.
How long does it take to inflate hot-air balloon?
It typically takes around 15-30 minutes to inflate a hot-air balloon. This process involves spreading out the balloon, connecting the burner to the envelope, igniting the burner, and gradually filling the envelope with hot air until it is fully inflated and upright.
Why there are gases in the balloon?
To inflate the balloon. Whether the gas is helium or just air from your lungs, gases are needed to inflate the balloon.
What types of matter are in a hot air balloon?
In a hot air balloon, you will find air, which is a mixture of gases. The main gas used to inflate a hot air balloon is heated air, while the envelope of the balloon is typically made of lightweight and heat-resistant materials like nylon or polyester. Additionally, there might be minor traces of moisture or other particles present in the air inside the balloon.
What is the energy transformation of a hot ballom?
A hot air balloon transforms thermal energy (from the heat source used to inflate the balloon) into kinetic energy as it moves through the air. The balloon rises due to the difference in temperature between the air inside the balloon and the surrounding cooler air, which creates buoyancy.
How will a bottle of hot water affect a balloon streched over the top?
When a bottle of hot water is placed near a balloon stretched over the top, the air inside the balloon will expand due to the heat, causing the balloon to inflate. Conversely, if the hot water cools down, the air will contract and the balloon will deflate.
Why does a bottle inflate when a bottle-and-balloon system is placed in hot water?
When a bottle-and-balloon system is placed in hot water, the air inside the bottle expands due to an increase in temperature. Since the bottle is sealed off from the outside, the expanding air has nowhere to go, causing the balloon to inflate as a result of the increased pressure inside the bottle.
How do you inflate a balloon without air?
You can inflate a balloon without air by using a different gas, such as helium, which is often used for party balloons. Alternatively, you can use a manual or electric pump to inflate the balloon with a liquid, such as water, which will evaporate and create gas inside the balloon.
