Inside the balloon with no water at all, the intense heat from the hot fire will melt the surface of the balloon. The pressure inside the balloon is so big that the balloon deflate and POP! With water, the water conducts the fire away from the balloon so the suface may not reach high tempertures. The balloon is remained inflated.

ProfessorWhen a balloon filled with water is held over a flame, the water absorbs the heat, preventing the rubber balloon from reaching its melting point and bursting. The water inside the balloon helps to dissipate the heat and keeps the rubber from getting too hot, thus allowing the balloon to remain intact over the flame.

Why is oil insoluble?
Oil is insoluble in water because it is a nonpolar substance, while water is a polar molecule. The polar nature of water causes it to form hydrogen bonds, making it a polar solvent. Oil, being nonpolar, cannot form these bonds with water, leading to its insolubility.
Would ccl4 dissolve in h2o?
No, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is nonpolar and water (H2O) is polar, so CCl4 does not dissolve in water.
When benzene reacts with bromine water will it decolourise bromine water or not?
Yes, benzene does not react with bromine water, so the bromine water will retain its reddish-brown color when benzene is added to it.
Can gasoline mix into water?
Gasoline and water do not mix readily due to the differences in their chemical properties. Gasoline is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water, and will float on top of water if poured into the same container. This is why gasoline spills on water bodies can cause environmental pollution as the two substances do not easily dissolve or mix with each other.
What is the boiling point of pure water Mark 1?
boiling is caused by impurities in the water. . pure water wont boil until it comes in contact with an impurity like what is found in regular tap water. it can also boil explosively on contact of such an impurity
