What happens when an inflated balloon is kept without closing its mouth? Class 8

What happens when an inflated balloon is kept without closing its mouth? Class 8

Answer:

The inflated balloon has air inside, which exerts pressure on the walls of the balloon, resulting in expansion of the balloon on all sides. The elastic walls of the balloon exert equal but opposite pressure on the air. When we keep the inflated balloon without closing its mouth, the air from within the balloon escapes through its mouth from high pressure inside the balloon to low pressure outside the balloon.
