Air from the smaller balloon goes into the larger one, increasing its size. This happens because the surface tension for the smaller balloon is greater than the surface tension of the larger one. Start with the valve open and both balloons deflated. Add air until both balloons are almost perfectly spherical. Close the valve connecting balloons ...

The Science of Balloons Part 1: Under Pressure. KS4 & 5 / CfE Senior: Material Properties. Experiments with balloons can help us learn about material behaviour, elasticity and viscoelasticity. In Part 1 we examine the famous Two Balloon experiment and find out why inflating a balloon is not always easy. Learning Resources Home.
Two interconnected rubber balloons as a demonstration showing the
the balloons tried to approach a minimum, constant surface tension when the size increased but surface tension only increased slightly between 30 cm to 50 cm. However, the rubber did not expand uniformly. The rubber skin was spread out unevenly. For a substance to have a constant surface tension, the substance needs to stay in a same state

The explanation is clear from Laplace's law: 2γ. ΔP =. r. Here ΔP = pressure difference between inside and outside the balloon, γ = surface tension of the rubber, and r = balloon radius. Thus, it requires a greater pressure difference to sustain a small balloon than it does a larger one. Thinking about when it is most difficult to inflate ...
PDF Two-balloon experiment explained
2.1 Balloon surface tension with Hook's law 2.1.1 Calculations Suppose there is a perfectly spherical balloon with a rubber with the initial radius of r0, that is, when there is no tension on the rubber (Left panel in Fig.2). There is no excess pressure over the atmospheric pressure of 1 atm in the air inside the balloon at this stage.
Build a Raft Powered by Surface Tension
The balloon offers more resistance to stretching. Think of a balloon as a model for surface tension. How "stretchy" the balloon material is determines how much resistance (surface tension) must be overcome by the energy of your blowing in order to inflate the balloon. ... You might want to experiment with different sizes, or different basic ...

Understanding Surface Tension: Laplace's Law and Balloon Experiment
The correct answer is the small balloon will get smaller and the big balloon gets bigger. This answer follows the application of Laplace's law where it says (something like the following) T (surface tension) = P (pressure) x R (radius). So the bigger the radius, the smaller the pressure.
Surface tension in a balloon wtih water
1. The effect of surface tension due to the water/rubber and rubber/air interfaces is negligible. For a radius of R = 10 R = 10 cm, and taking a typical surface tension of γ = 70 γ = 70 mN/m, the increase of pressure in the balloon because of the interfaces is typiclally of the order of the Laplace pressure Δp = 2γ/R = 1.4 Δ p = 2 γ / R ...
5 Amazing Balloon Experiments
Experiment Instructions. We can use Science, Vinegar and Baking Soda to blow up the Balloon. Pour 2 dl of vinegar into the empty bottle. Put Balloon on the funnel and pour 2 spoons of baking soda into it. If you put more, the reaction will be stronger but there is danger of liquid shooting out of the bottle.

Surface Tension
Materials. Procedure. First, to see how surface tension works, fill up the clear cup with water. Place it on top of a sheet of white paper on a table. If you drop a paperclip into the cup, it should sink immediately to the bottom. Next, carefully lower a paperclip down until it meets the surface of the water. Make sure not to drop it!
How to Put a Skewer Through a Balloon : Science Fair Project
Step-2: Preparing the Wooden Skewer. Please take a few drops of dish soap in a bowl and dip the end of the skewer into it. The dish soap liquid's oil content acts as a lubricant and stops the balloon from popping out easily. Step-3: Decide the place where to insert the Skewer. Finding the best place to insert the skewer into an inflated ...

Experimental results of pressure versus radius for different balloons
First, the surface tension force is constant, whereas the tension in the latex increases as in figure 6 and, second, the bubble has two 'skins' to consider, whereas a balloon only has one skin.
What Is Surface Tension? Definition and Experiments
Surface tension is a phenomenon in which the surface of a liquid, where the liquid is in contact with a gas, acts as a thin elastic sheet. This term is typically used only when the liquid surface is in contact with gas (such as the air). If the surface is between two liquids (such as water and oil), it is called "interface tension."
