Why do hydrogen balloons explode?
Hydrogen is a flammable and explosive gas, when the hydrogen balloon rubs against other objects to produce static electricity, when it encounters open flames, sun exposure or excessive pressure, it may cause an instantaneous explosion and burn the surrounding people.
Can oranges, grapefruits, lemons also detonate balloons?
In fact, this "temperamental" hydrogen balloon can explode even if it does not encounter an open flame.
The peels of fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, and lemons contain an aromatic hydrocarbon called limonene, which belongs to the class of organic solvents, and the main material of balloons is polymer organic compounds such as latex and rubber.
According to the "similarity dissolution principle" in chemistry, when these two organic substances come into contact, they will missolve with each other, resulting in a local thinning of the surface of the balloon and an explosion.
Attention!
After peeling citrus fruits such as oranges and oranges, be sure to wash your hands before touching the balloons!
