Fire proof balloon

A fire proof balloon is a balloon which will not burst when taken close to fire it is a very interesting and cool experiment to do at home with children. below is the video made by the owners:

It is a very simple project and need a time of just 2 minutes to make

So the things you need are:
  • 2 balloons
  • 1 candle
  • match box
  • water

To make it follow the steps given below :
  1. Take 1st balloon, inflate it and tie it.
  2. Take the 2nd balloon and pour some water about 40ml - 60 ml or 1/4 cup ( the balloon shown in the figure has water in it ).
  3. Now lit up the candle and take both the balloons near the fire 1 by 1 and observe what happens.
Observation

we observe that the ba;lloon which doesn't contain water burst away whereas the balloon containing water doesn't burst .

Why did this happen ?

The reason behind this is that when the balloon containing water is heated , first the water gets heated and till the water boils the balloon will not burst.
