Take the following steps to prevent a balloon from popping: 1). Avoid overinflating the balloon. 2). Once it is inflated, avoid moving it to a place with drastically lower air pressure, such as a vacuum chamber, an unpressurized aircraft in flight, an unprotected capsule in the earth's stratosphere, the surface of the moon, etc. 3). Avoid contact between the inflated balloon and objects with rough surfaces, such as stucco walls, stony ground, concrete walkway, textured ceilings, etc. 4). Avoid contact between the inflated balloon and sources of extreme heat such as energized incandescent light bulbs, currently- or recently-ignited matches and candle wicks, cigars and cigarettes in current service, stove tops, soldering-iron tips, an inside shelf or the exterior of a car in direct sunlight, etc. 5). Avoid contact between the inflated balloon and sticky objects such as wet glue, fingers of children at a party, dogs' tongues, etc. 6). Perhaps most important, avoid contact between the inflated balloon and objects with edges or points that taper to microscopic radii of curvature at their extremities, such as knives, pins, staples, dogs' teeth, sharks' teeth, saw teeth, fashionable fingernails, darts, sharpened pencils, Xacto knives, shaving razors, metal shavings, metal filings, metal files, drafting compasses, knitting needles, sewing needles, crocheting needles, pine needles, magnetic compass needles, uncooked spaghetti, wood splinters, woodworking tools, stiff wire, wire cutters, etc.

Why does helium balloons pop in the hot sun and what pressure is acting on it?

Helium expands in the heat, causing the gas inside the balloon to increase in pressure. As the pressure inside the balloon becomes greater than the strength of the balloon's material, it can pop. The pressure acting on the balloon is the sum of the internal pressure of the expanding helium gas and the external atmospheric pressure.


Is a heilum balloon a gas-liquid mixture?

No, it is a gas-solid mixture when view as a whole. It has a solid component (the balloon itself), and a gas component (the helium)


What is the best way to trap a fart in a balloon?

To trap a fart in a balloon, hold the opening of the balloon near your rear end as you pass gas. The balloon will hold the fart inside once it inflates. Be cautious with this method, as balloons can pop if overinflated.


Is burning a balloon a physical or chemical change?

When thinking of a balloon, it's best to think of two different chemical compounds that do not mix, the balloon itself and air. What makes the balloon pop is that the pressure of the air exceeds the force of the chemical bonds of the balloon. In order for a chemical reaction to take place, you need to start off with one set of chemicals that become a new set of chemicals.However, when a balloon pops, no new chemicals are created. All that happens is that the electron bonds of the compound we know of as the balloon break.


What would happen if a balloon that was blown up at a low altitude is brought to a high altitude?

The balloon would expand as it rises in altitude due to the decrease in air pressure. If it expands too much, it may pop or burst because the external pressure is lower than the internal pressure from the air inside the balloon.

pop!


Can light make a balloon pop?

Under normal circumstances, light cannot make a balloon pop. However, intense concentrated light, such as that from a laser beam, could potentially generate enough heat to pop a balloon by causing the air inside to expand rapidly.

Will balloons pop if you sit on them?

It depends on how heavy the person itself is. And the balloon. If the balloon is strong and a light person is sitting on it, it probably won't. If a heavy person is sitting on it, it might. And if it is a non strong balloon, and ANYBODY sits on it... it will.


How big is a balloon?

I depends what kind of balloon you have. Maybe you can even make a balloon that issoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo big you'll have trouble holding it. You might be scared that its gonna pop. But when some balloons pop the sound isn't that big. Some times you don't have to be scared to blow a balloon!!!


How do you make the perfect water balloon?

to make the perfect water balloon, simply use a regular water balloon rather than a water balloon. regular water balloons can get as big as a human head. the down side is they don't pop easily. you can drop them on the floor and they wont pop.

How does a balloon that was charged make an empty pop can roll?

When a charged balloon is brought close to an empty pop can, the negative charge on the balloon induces a positive charge on the can due to electrostatic induction. The opposite charges attract each other, creating a force that causes the can to roll towards the balloon.
