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.
What else can I help you with?
If you put water yeast and sugar in a bottle and put a balloon over the top the balloon will inflate. Will it inflate if you do NOT put sugar in it If not will anything happen at all?
Yeast eats the sugar giving off CO2 which is a gas that will inflate the balloon. Added: But since carbon dioxide is heavier than air this balloon gas will never reach the 'top'
How do you find research on how to inflate a balloon?

Is it chemical or physical change when you inflate a balloon?
This is a physical change.
Does salt kill yeast?
I'm pretty sure it's both, because while yeast and flour mixed with water smells alcoholic (which is a sign of fermentation), when it's mixed with yeast and water it smells like milk. Also, it barely grows, less than just yeast and water. Correct me if I'm wrong!
What is the hypothesis for the blow up a balloon with yeast experiment?
you did not answer my question . please answer the question I give you I said the hypothesis about how to make a ballon blow up using soda and yeast
Why cant salt and yeast make the balloon inflate?
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.

Why wouldn't yeast and water inflate a balloon unless you add sugar?
The sugar is needed as food for the yeast. The yeast gives off carbon dioxide as it digests the sugar. The carbon dioxide could be used to inflate the balloon. Without the sugar, the yeast remains dormant and does not give off carbon dioxide.
What happens if you put some yeast and a pinch of sugar with warm water and a balloon ontop of the container and leave at for a week?
The yeast would consume the sugar and produce carbon dioxide gas as a byproduct. The gas would inflate the balloon, demonstrating the process of fermentation in action. After a week, you would likely see a visibly inflated balloon, indicating that the yeast has been actively fermenting.
Can a rotten banana inflate a balloon?
Yes, a rotten banana can inflate a balloon. As the banana decomposes, it releases gases such as carbon dioxide due to the activity of bacteria and yeast breaking down the sugars. If you place the rotten banana in a sealed container with a balloon attached, the gas produced can fill the balloon and inflate it. However, the amount of gas generated may not be significant enough to inflate a large balloon fully.
What do you need for a yeast balloon experiment?
To conduct a yeast balloon experiment, you will need a balloon, a water bottle, warm water, sugar, active dry yeast, and a funnel. First, mix the warm water with sugar in the bottle, add yeast using the funnel, and stretch the balloon over the top of the bottle. As the yeast consumes the sugar and produces carbon dioxide, the balloon will inflate.
Can you inflate a balloon with only soda?
Yes this can be done but the process would be really slow. You can try adding some yeast to hydrogen peroxide and let the balloon be tied to the bottle containing that mixture. After couple of hours you will have inflated balloon.
Can you inflate a balloon with Coca-Cola and salt?
The gas that is given out during the reaction of baking soda and coke could inflate a balloon
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.
Can yeast and lemon juice b used for self inflating balloon?
Yes, yeast and lemon juice can be used to inflate a balloon through a simple chemical reaction. When yeast ferments sugars, it produces carbon dioxide gas, which can fill a balloon. The acidity of lemon juice can provide an additional source of sugar for the yeast to ferment, enhancing the gas production. However, the effectiveness may vary based on the amount of sugar and yeast used.
Can you inflate a balloon without blowing or pumping air into it?
Yes, you can inflate a balloon by using a chemical reaction, such as mixing vinegar and baking soda inside the balloon to produce carbon dioxide gas, which will inflate the balloon.
What happens when you put sugar and yeast inside of a ballon?
If there is a little moisture too, then the yeast cells will multiply and turn the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas will inflate the balloon.
