- So 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 therest 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 possibleexplanations, and thoroughly explain your points. 2. Why did the second balloon not pop in the time allowed? Giveat least two possible reasons, and thoroughly explain your points. 3. Predict how the demonstration would change if the flame of thecandle were directed at the top of the second balloon instead of beingheld directly beneath it? Explain your prediction. 4.

Model each as having 25 “bins" for thermal energy. At the start, A has 7 "packets" of thermal energy and B has three as shown schematically in the figure at the right. Assume that only one packet of energy can go in each bin and that the energy packets are indistinguishable. Do 1. How many microstates are there for A initially? For B? 2.
