Fire Water Balloon

Its a simple experiment done on 9/8/2012.
This will be the last meeting of the year.

Since its a fire water balloon activity, we have: Balloon
                                                                      Candle 


Start it by filling the balloon with water. Almost half is enough. Light up the candle and start burning the balloon. You will be surprise that it will not burst!!



see this

Water have high specific heat capacity that can prevent the balloon from bursting. But continuously heating will also burst the balloon as the water temperature increases.
Carbon is formed at the bottom of the balloon where the part that it is heated.
