Effects of Orange Peels on Balloons

The video explores the surprising reaction of orange peel on balloons, explaining how limonene, a flammable substance in the peel, can weaken and pop balloons due to its chemical similarity to rubber. The video demonstrates this with regular and water balloons, highlighting that not all balloons react the same way. The experiment concludes with a successful demonstration on a water balloon.

• The peel melts.

• Nothing happens.

• The flame goes out.

Why does limonene cause the balloon to pop?

• It adds weight to the balloon.

• It cools the balloon rapidly.

• It dissolves the rubber slightly.

• It inflates the balloon.

What effect does citric acid have on a balloon?
