When a balloon filled with hot air is placed in a beaker containing cold water it contracts?
(Gases always expand when they’re warm – the heat gives the gas energy to spread out more). The expanding gas blows up the balloon. When you put the bottle into cold water, the air cools down again.
How do you stop a balloon from popping up in the heat?
Do not inflate the balloon to 100%. Leave some space so that it can absorb the excess of heat due to warm weather. The best way to do so is to inflate the balloon completely and then deflate small quantity of air from it. This gives space to the balloon that can be used for breathing in the case of hot weather.

the valve handle by turning it counter-clockwise. Press and hold down on the tilt-nozzle (see photo 2) until the tank is empty. Listen and feel for pressure discharging from the tilt-nozzle. The tank is empty when no sound is heard or pressure is felt.

Manufacturers do not guarantee balloons are refillable. A balloon should appear close to fully inflated for at least 7 days. If a balloon deflates quickly after inflation, the balloon may have a hole in it or damage to the self-sealing valve.
How do you inflate helium balloons without helium?
Add the vinegar in the bottle. With the help of the funnel, add about 3 or 4 tablespoons of baking soda inside a balloon. Now, place the mouth of the balloon in the mouth of the bottle, and turn the balloon so that the bicarbonate can fall into the vinegar.
