A helium balloon of the same material will deflate faster.

Helium molecules are smaller than those in regular air, so they'll seep through tiny holes and imperfections in the skin of the balloon faster.

When using the standard PIN analysis - both helium and common air balloons were found to deflate at the same rate.

To the naked eye, both balloons stuck with a pin deflated with a pop.

However, if the balloons are left intact, the helium balloon will deflate faster. This is because the helium molecules are small enough to pass through the rubber balloon, and they gradually leak out.

In theory, smaller molecules (such as He2) should escape from a balloon faster than larger ones (such as CO2), because they can fit through smaller pores or imperfections in the balloon's material. If you have ever compared helium balloons and air-filled balloons, you have almost certainly seen the helium balloons do this.

In practice, however, standard latex balloons filled with carbon dioxide deflate much faster than ones with either air or helium. Presumably an interaction between latex and carbon dioxide either allows the gas to escape, or consumes it in a reaction.

Rubber. It doesn't hold the gas in as well as the Mylar does.

Do balloons deflate faster in hot or cold air?

cold air because hot blowes them up


In what temperatures can you fly a hot air-balloon?

hot air balloons work the best in cold temperature. the reason why is because if the outside temperature is close to the temperature in the hot air balloon, it will be as if the flame isn't on. if it is cold outside, the flame makes a much bigger impact and the balloon will go up faster.


Why does a balloon deflate when cooled?

It might have something to do with the way particles expand under heat and contract when cold. The particles bunch so close together that the balloon falls inward and deflates.


What makes a balloon deflate hot water or cold water or cold water?

Cold water causes a balloon to deflate because the cold air the cold water releases is more dense than the hot air hot water releases. Take a hot air balloon for example, the flames cause the air in the balloon to heat up, causing the hot air balloon to rise. In order to make the balloon go down, you slowly turn on and off the flames in order to cool the air already inside the balloon over a period of time.All in all, cold waters causes balloons to deflate.P.S. Sorry if that made absolutely no sense, it's rather difficult explaining these types of things. c:

Cold water doesn't burst at all.

Hot temperatures because bacteria and germs more faster and are quicker to reproduce, rather than being in cold temperatures.

What will happen to a balloon when kept in a room?

it all depends on your temprature inside your house if it is cold it might deflate if it is hot then it might expand based on my reaserch you should always keep a balloon below 70 degrees. but it all depends where you put it alsoif you put it in a closet it is soon to expand and mabey burst. butn lets say if your room is like 40 degrees your ballon will deflate but first all the tiny air particals will freeze and you will see little ice droplets in your balloon then it will deflate. the best way to keep a balloon is below 70 and over 50 if it is colder or hotter that that be aware you wont have your balloon for very long


Why do substances diffuse faster in hot than in cold temperatures?

In hot water molecule were moving around faster so substances diffuse faster than in cold water.


Why does a balloon deflate in cold air and expand in hot air?

Because the pressure of a gas is dependent on the temperature. The same amount of gas - as what you have inside your balloon - will have a higher pressure when it's warm, and a lower pressure when it's cold. And higher pressure = more inflation. Lower pressure = less inflation.


Why doesn't cold air take up more space?

According to Charles' Law, volume is directly proportional to temperature: as one goes up, so does the other. When heated, air molecules move faster and encounter the walls of their container with more force. You can test this by filling a balloon with warm air and trying to deflate one with cold air.
