Do latex balloons expand in heat?
YES
How are big balloons made?
Most balloons that people usually find in the store, used for parties, and fun activities, are made out of a liquid rubber called Latex. These latex balloons are made by companies throughout the world. Firstly molds of the balloon must be placed into an paste, which contains calcium nitrate, water and alcohol. The paste applies a sticky cover to the mold which allows the latex to attach to the mold. It is then dipped into the compounded latex where the latex can stick to the molded paste. From there, the latex covered form is passed through a set of spinning brushes that makes the balloon edge at the top of the balloon. The latex mold is then dipped into hot water to get rid of any excess nitrate, or any other bacteria's. The mold is then put into an oven at 200-220 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes. When cured, the rubber balloon is removed from the form.
Helium balloons vs carbon dioxide?
Helium balloons deflate faster because the molecules are smaller and can seep through the smallest of holes. ... Except that this isn't what happens. Try inflating some latex balloons with CO2 (use a chemical reaction with baking soda to generate it) and compare them to helium balloons. It's amazing to see how quickly the CO2 balloons shrivel up. Note: balloons made of mylar or other materials might behave more in line with theory, but CO2 escapes from latex balloons quickly.
Explain why helium-filled Mylar-foil balloons can float freely for several weeks but latex balloons for less than 24-hours?
Helium is not only very light, it is also monatomic, it's particles are all made up of a single atom. Air molecules, oxygen, and nitrogen mainly are larger and hevier and diffuse through much more slowly.
What gas is used to inflate the balloon?
For latex balloons filled with helium, many party stores now have a gel that they squirt into the balloon and rub around inside. It is a silicon base and it helps to seal the pores in the latex preventing the gas from escaping. When we had it done there was an extra charge of $1.00US per dozen balloons. It was very effective.
