o there is a demonstration in which a lighted candle was placed under two ordinary latex balloons. -The first balloon was filled only with air. This balloon popped immediately. -The second balloon was partially filled with water, then filled the rest of the way with air. This balloon did not pop in the time allowed (basically takes way too long to pop). 1. What caused the first balloon to pop? Give at least two possible explanations, and thoroughly explain your points. 2. Why did the second balloon not pop in the time allowed? Give at least two possible reasons, and thoroughly explain your points. 3. Predict how the demonstration would change if the flame of the candle were directed at the top of the second balloon instead of being held directly beneath it? Explain your prediction.

1. What caused the first balloon to pop? Give at least two possible
explanations, and thoroughly explain your points.
2. Why did the second balloon not pop in the time allowed? Give
at least two possible reasons, and thoroughly explain your points.
3. Predict how the demonstration would change if the flame of the
candle were directed at the top of the second balloon instead of being
held directly beneath it? Explain your prediction.
4. Predict how the demonstration would change if the second
balloon contained ethanol instead of water. Explain your prediction.
Also pls make your answer fit on just one side of 1 standard sheet of paper, so you can do it in google docs or handwrite it and send it if you want to.
(Just as a bonus this involves terms like the specific heat of water, and the 2nd law of
