The 'popping' sound of a balloon disintegrating is made by the sudden expansion of air when the skin is damaged. The compressed air within is then able to escape.
One interesting variant of your 'water' experiment, is to stick a bit of cellulose tape to the balloon, and then you'll find that you may puncture the balloon; through the tape; without it popping! It will eventually deflate however.
What else can I help you with?
Does water affect balloon popping?
Water can affect balloon popping by dampening the rubber and making it more prone to breaking. Water can also add weight to the balloon, which may increase the likelihood of it popping due to added strain on the rubber.
Why do we stick a cellophane tape to the balloon that we want to prick?
By sticking cellophane tape to a balloon before popping it, the tape helps prevent the balloon from bursting loudly and creating a sudden noise. The tape absorbs some of the energy from the popping balloon, reducing the noise and making it a bit quieter.
How far can you throw a water balloon before it pops?
The distance a water balloon can be thrown before popping depends on various factors including the size of the balloon, the force of the throw, the height of the throw, and the thickness of the balloon's skin. In general, a water balloon can typically be thrown up to 20-30 feet before popping.
What happens if you prick the balloon without water?
If you prick a balloon without water, the air inside the balloon will escape rapidly through the hole created by the prick. The balloon will quickly deflate and likely make a popping sound.
Why does adding water change how long it takes a balloon to pop?
Adding water to a balloon changes the distribution of forces acting on it. The water inside the balloon adds weight, causing the balloon to stretch and become thinner. This makes the balloon more susceptible to popping as the tension in its material increases.

Is there a difference between water pressure and air pressure when it comes to popping a balloon?
No.

How do you get a water balloon out of a bottle without popping it?
If you filled the bottle with water and then poked the balloon with a pin, I believe it would pierce but not pop it. With the balloon pierced, all you would then have to do is drain the water from the bottle, maneuver the balloon toward its mouth and drain it, and then finish removing the balloon either by fishing or dropping it out of the bottle's mouth.
Why balloon does not pop when there is water inside?
Balloons are designed to stretch to accommodate different volumes, including water, without breaking. The pressure inside the balloon is distributed more evenly when there is water inside, reducing the risk of popping compared to when there is just air inside. Additionally, the water absorbs some of the energy from external forces acting on the balloon, further reducing the likelihood of it popping.
Popping a balloon?
Yes ! :d
Will water balloons last longer than air balloons when it's heated?
Yes, because the specific heat capacity of water is 4.187, while air's is close to 2. Therefore, the water can absorb more of the heat and prevent the balloon from popping longer.
How do you prick a balloon with out popping it?
To prick a balloon without popping it, you can use a needle or a sharp pin and gently insert it into the thickest part of the balloon where the rubber is most stretchy. Slowly push the needle through while holding the balloon tightly to release the air slowly, preventing it from popping.
How does a needle pass through a balloon without popping it?
A needle can pass through a balloon without popping it because the rubber of the balloon is stretchy and can temporarily seal around the needle, preventing air from escaping and causing the balloon to pop.
