The static electricity in a balloon cannot harm you, though it can give you an annoying jolt. Current kills.

A highly charged child's balloon is not dangerous because the amount of charge stored in the balloon is very small and will not cause harm to the child or others. The charge is also likely to dissipate quickly due to the balloon's conductive properties and the surrounding environment.

What would happen if you were to fill a balloon with oxygen?

Filling a balloon with pure oxygen can be dangerous as oxygen accelerates combustion. It can create a highly flammable environment, increasing the risk of fire or explosion. It is not recommended to fill balloons with pure oxygen.

Why is hydrogen dangerous for use in baloons?

Hydrogen is dangerous for use in balloons because it is highly flammable and can easily ignite in the presence of oxygen. If a spark or flame were to come into contact with the hydrogen gas inside the balloon, it could cause an explosion. This poses a significant safety risk to both the balloon and anyone nearby.

If two balloons are rubbed on a wool sweater they should stick to each other?

The balloon has a greater affinity for electrons so it obtains a negative charge after being rubbed against the sweater. The balloon, containing a highly negative charge, sticks to the wall because it is attracted to the positive charges in the wall (opposites attract). After a while, the balloon's extra electrons move to the wall and both objects become neutrally charged. Lacking any significant attraction, the balloon will fall off the wall.


How do Highly charged ions effect pH?

Highly charged ions can affect pH by altering the balance of ions in solution, which can influence the concentration of hydrogen ions. For example, if a highly charged cation is present, it may attract more negatively charged ions, resulting in a decrease in the concentration of hydrogen ions and an increase in pH. Conversely, a highly charged anion may repel hydrogen ions, leading to an increase in pH.
