Below, the term "air molecules" refers to any molecules present in air; it is not meant to imply air is a homogeneous fluid.

Assuming that both balloons are made of the same material, the water balloon will keep air in it the longest. This is for two main reasons:

  • the balloon stretches more in a normally filled party balloon than in a normally filled water balloon. This implies that the internal pressure of the party balloon is greater, meaning more the air molecules inside the balloon will collide with the inside of the balloon more frequently than if the pressure was lower.
  • the party balloon has a higher surface area to volume ratio. This means that air molecules are more likely to collide against the side of the balloon, compared to collisions other air molecules.

Both of these factors would cause a party balloon to lose air faster than a water balloon.

What will blow up a balloon hot water or cold water?

Hot water will blow up a balloon faster than cold water because the heat causes the air molecules inside the balloon to move faster and spread out more, increasing the pressure inside the balloon and expanding it.


What happens if you prick the balloon without water?

If you prick a balloon without water, the air inside the balloon will escape rapidly through the hole created by the prick. The balloon will quickly deflate and likely make a popping sound.


Why does a warm balloon burst faster then cold water?

Cold water doesn't burst at all.


How do you fill water balloons with water?

Stretch the mouth of the deflated water balloon over a tap or other pressurized water source. Turn on the tap so that water rushes into the balloon. Once filled, twist the balloon at the neck a few times. This way water does not escape when you remove the mouth of the balloon from the tap. Once removed, tie the twisted neck of the balloon in a knot to prevent water from escaping.


What happens to the water filled balloon in warm water?

The water-filled balloon will warm up and expand as the temperature of the water increases. This is because the molecules in the water gain more energy and move faster, causing the balloon to stretch. If the water is too hot, the balloon may burst due to the increased pressure from the expanding water.


What will happen to a balloon if it is placed in warm water?

The air molecules inside the balloon will heat up and move faster, increasing the pressure inside the balloon. This will cause the balloon to expand and grow in size.


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.


What would happen to the volume of a balloon if it were submerged in hot water?

The volume of the balloon would increase when submerged in hot water because the heat causes the air particles inside the balloon to move faster and spread out, increasing the overall volume of the balloon.


Why an inflated balloon expand in warmwater?

When particles are heated up the particles expand and when it is cooled down they contract, so on a hot day the balloon's particles will expand and when the temperature comes down the particles will contract.


What can you do for a 11 year old birthday party?

you can have a theme for your party and you can invite people over, have a pool party. you can have friends over and play outside with water balloon and a water gun and start having fun with water have a water party.


What is the effect of placing the balloon in hot water on the volume of gas?

Placing the balloon in hot water increases the temperature of the gas inside the balloon. As a result, the gas molecules gain energy and move faster, increasing the volume of the gas inside the balloon due to expansion.


How does heat affect the particles in a balloon?

when a balloon is filled up with air and then heated. remember that the particles of air are free to move. so when it is heated the particles will gain more energy and they stars to move faster. when there is too much energy between the particles they escape by popping the balloon. the more heat the more faster the particles move. it wil be the same process if the ballon is filled up with water and then heated.(water and air particles are heated up by convection currents.) if you heat just a ballon then the ballon will melt because of the property of the meterial it is made of. hope i helped:)
