Why doesn’t the water balloon pop?1. Water has high heat capacity and can absorb a small amount
of heat with a large increase in temperature.2. The water wets the wall of the balloon so that it can’t
combust.3. Water has a high specific heat because of intermolecular
forces between molecules.4. The kinetic energy in the water increases without increasing
the heat.
