3. Is due to hydrogen and oxygen gas in the air reacting when exposed to heat to create H2O, whereas water doesn't react to heat. Chemistry!

They do under pressure, for example, inside a balloon

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

3: Combined Gas Law (Boyle+ Charles+Gay-Lussac.) PV/T = k. Increase the temp, and the volume increases, therefore pressure increases (1/2)

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

until the balloon's membrane can't expand anymore, and pops. Water also expands under heat, but at a significantly slower rate than a gas.

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

2/2 but the "tear" on the balloon is not enough for water to escape (until say more water is added and those tears expand)

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I thought it was because the plastic being burned created enough of a "tear" that caused the balloon to pop (similar to using a pin). 1/2

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The rubber of the balloon subjected to heat WOULD also expand and therefore weaken, yes, which is what makes the air pressure pop it faster.

You probably just put that see-through food wrapping stuff around the bottle neck and then put a rubber band around it too.

As a scientist, I can tell you the 'screen' is a fine mesh. Like cloth. Holes small enough to use surface tension to keep water in.

and to add its not fullproof, it works while the bottle is not being shaken. But when it does some water escapes (therefore bubbles)

Its surface tension which prevents exactly that
