If a balloon is filled with water, it becomes less susceptible to being popped over a flame, because the water can absorb some of the heat. Otherwise, the flame will rapidly destroy the material of the balloon (rubber, latex).

Why wont balloons pop when over fire when there is water in it?

Inside the balloon with no water at all, the intense heat from the hot fire will melt the surface of the balloon. The pressure inside the balloon is so big that the balloon deflate and POP! With water, the water conducts the fire away from the balloon so the suface may not reach high tempertures. The balloon is remained inflated.


How come when you put water in a balloon and you put it on top of lit candle it won't pop?

When you put water in a balloon and place it over a lit candle, the water in the balloon absorbs and distributes the heat from the flame, preventing the balloon from bursting. The water acts as a heat sink, keeping the balloon cool enough to withstand the heat from the candle without melting or bursting.


What is the color of the lithium flame in water?

The reaction of lithium and water is violent but without a flame.


What type of skeleton is similar to a filled water balloon?

An invertebrate skeleton, such as a hydrostatic skeleton found in some soft-bodied animals like jellyfish and worms, is similar to a filled water balloon. This type of skeleton uses fluid pressure to provide support and structure to the body.


How does a balloon with water inside react to fire?

The water inside the balloon will absorb some of the heat from the fire, which may cause the balloon to expand as the water heats up. Eventually, the balloon may burst when the pressure inside exceeds its capacity. It's important to exercise caution when conducting experiments involving fire and water-filled balloons to avoid injury.

Why does balloon filled with water do not blast when it is shown to fire?

Why does the balloon with no water break in the flame? And balloon with water not break? The flame heats the rubber of both balloons. The rubber of the balloon without water becomes so hot, that it becomes too weak to resist the pressure of the air inside the balloon. When water inside the balloon is placed in the flame, the water absorbs most of the heat from the flame. Then, the rubber of the balloon does not become very hot. Because the rubber does not become hot, it does not weaken, and the balloon does not break. Water is a good absorber of heat


What is the difference between a water balloon and a normal balloon?

A water balloon is filled with water, and other balloons are filled with air or helium.


How far can a water balloon be toss before it breaks?

I think a water balloon can be tossed if the water balloon is filled lightly. If the water balloon is filled heavily it might break before someone catches it. Also I did this before and I measured it and it was 74 feet and 5 inches exactly!

Why does a balloon change shape when filled with water?

The elasticity of the balloon's material allows it to expand and take on different shapes when filled with water. As the balloon fills with water, the pressure from the water pushes against the sides of the balloon, causing it to stretch and change shape.


How long does it take for a balloon filled with hot water to pop?

The time it takes for a balloon filled with hot water to pop can vary depending on factors such as the temperature of the water, the material and thickness of the balloon, and the surrounding environment. Generally, a balloon filled with hot water can pop within a few seconds to a few minutes as the heat weakens the structure of the balloon.


Why a balloon filled with water expands very little when heated?

Water is very good at soaking up heat. When the water-filled balloon is heated the water Draws the heat away from the rubber. For the air filled balloon, not so much. The rubber heats up, weakens, and breaks.


What are the examples of hydro-skeleton?

A balloon filled with water.


If you apply pressure to a balloon filled with water will it pop and make a mess?

sometimes, depending on how full the water balloon is.


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.


Does a balloon float or sink on water and why?

A balloon filled with air will float on water because it is less dense than water. The buoyant force acting on the balloon allows it to float.


You filled a balloon with 560 ml of water the balloon and water have a mass of?

The water has a mass of roughly 560 grams, depending on its purity and temperature. We have no idea what the mass of the balloon is.
