As anyone who bakes bread, or brew wines and beers will know, yeast needs a moist, warm environment in which there is dissolved liquid sugar available (not salt). The yeast cells rapidly multiply as the yeast feeds off the sugar, and gives off carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. It is the carbon dioxide gas that will inflate the balloon. Salt would probably kill off the yeast.

Does salt and yeast inflate a balloon?

Live yeast can be used to inflate a balloon if you give the yeast something to ferment (such as sugar). They then produce carbon dioxide as a waste product that could inflate a balloon. You should not expect it to be buoyant, however, for CO2 is heavy as gases go (considerably heavier than air, for instance). The yeast cannot use salt for much of anything, however.


Will that make a balloon inflate?

How can you inflate a H2O balloon?

To inflate a water balloon, stretch the balloon opening over a faucet and turn on the water slowly until the balloon reaches the desired size. Alternatively, you can use a water balloon pump to inflate the balloon. Just make sure not to overinflate it to avoid bursting.

Can you make a balloon inflate in the microwave?

No, it is not safe to put a balloon in the microwave to inflate it. The heat generated inside the microwave can cause the balloon to pop or explode, leading to potential injuries and damage to the appliance. It is best to inflate balloons using a pump or your breath.


How do you make a balloon rise into the air?

To make a balloon rise in the air, one way is to fill it with a lighter-than-air gas, such as helium or hydrogen. The gas inside the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air, enabling it to float and rise. The amount of gas and the size of the balloon will determine how high it can rise.

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.

How do you blow up a balloon without blowing?

One way to blow up a balloon without blowing into it is to use a hand pump to inflate the balloon with air. Another method is to use a helium tank and nozzle to fill the balloon with helium gas, which will make it float.
