Well, it obviously depends on what type of balloon you have. There are rubber party balloons, mylar party balloons, and hot air balloons. Hot air balloons will not pop since they have holes in them, but I'm going to focus on rubber balloons here. These are very cheap and made with cheap rubber that can only hold about 2.5 liters of gas before popping. Now, let's assume that the man at the party store fills a balloon with 2 liters of helium before giving it to you. A mole of helium gas (22.4 Liters) only weighs four grams, so helium is less dense than the air around us, which explains its ability to float and why it makes your voice high. Anyway, the helium in the balloon will continue rising until the density around it is equal to its density, which will happen about 100 miles up in the exosphere. Anyway, down here at sea level, the pressure is normally 1 atmosphere. I did some math and determined that this helium will reach a volume of 2.5 liters at .8 atmoshperes of pressure. .8 atmospheres of pressure occur at about 8,500 feet up (about 1 and a half miles) in the air.
What else can I help you with?
Why does a balloon burst when you sit on it?
Air or helium is a gas that is contained in a latex envelope. Since the balloon is a finite space, when you sit on it you strain the latex beyond it's capabilities. Just like a seam in your clothes, too much strain will open the material. In latex, the thing pops because the pressure outside is greater than the pressure inside. The gas has to go somewhere!
How far can a water balloon rolls before it bursts?
This has to do, not so much with the distance, and not even with the speed, but how suddenly the balloon's speed changes - in other words, how strong you hit it. Of course, tossing the balloon farther may require more force - but then, in theory you can make it speed up gradually. - It will also depend on the specific balloon (its material, and how thick it is), and how much you fill it with water.
How far do balloons go before they pop?
The distance a balloon can travel before popping depends on various factors such as its material, thickness, and the environment. In general, a typical latex balloon can travel several miles, while a more durable mylar balloon can travel even farther due to its stronger material.
Hot air balloons have a gas heater attached to them the pilot can turn the heater on the balloon and the balloon will go high why?
Hot air balloons have a gas heater that is generally powered by propane. When the pilot turns the heater on, the balloon will fly high due to the hydrocarbon chamber that allows the pilot control of ascent and descent of the hot air balloon.
Will the balloon with the least amount of air go out faster?
No, the balloon with the least amount of air will not necessarily go out faster. Factors such as wind speed and direction, temperature, and weight of the balloon will also affect the rate at which the balloon goes out.
What is the point of giving a balloon to the balloon boy?
The point of giving the balloon to the boy is that he will go up high and that is what gives you a mission in the game. I hope this helped!
How far can a water balloon go before breaking?
It depends on if a good thrower or if the water balloon is big or small
Where does a balloon go when you let it go?
Up, up, and away! A helium balloon rises rapidly until one of two things happens due to the falling air pressure with rising altitude: the balloon expands and pops and the remnants fall back to earth, or the balloon reaches an altitude where it can't rise further and the high altitude winds carry it off. Eventually if it has not popped the helium will slowly escape and it will fall back to earth. By the time it does fall back to earth it is usually hundreds to thousands of miles from where it was released.
What might limit how high a hot air balloon can go?
half so high in the sky
How high will you go with a hot air balloon tour?
While a hot air balloon can fly several miles in the air, a tour balloon will generally only go about a mile up due to pressure concerns.
What happens when a balloon filled with helium goes into space?
In space, the helium inside the balloon will expand due to the absence of atmospheric pressure. Eventually, the balloon will burst when the pressure inside it becomes greater than the tensile strength of the balloon material.
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!
How high do you go in an air balloon ride?
the average height is 1200 to 3000 ft. with a max of 50000ft many people ride between 500 and 3000 ft. because they don't want to go to high or to low in the balloon for fear of crashing
Does the hot air balloon go where ever the wind blows it?
yes because of the heat of the balloon and if it has been very hot outdoors then the pressure will be so high that will also carry the balloon. So to answer the question; YES
Is bursting a balloon a physical or a 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 to the volume of a balloon if pressure increased?
It gets bigger because as it gets higher, the density of the atmosphere will rise when the density inside the balloon stays the same. Then because of pressure, it will get bigger and eventually pop.
Will a balloon filled with nitrogen will explode if a burning match is touched to it?
No, a balloon filled with nitrogen will not explode when a burning match is touched to it. Nitrogen is an inert gas and does not support combustion, so the match will go out before it can ignite the balloon.
