Question

Explain why balloon deflates when you stick a pin in it

Answer 1

Balloon deflates when we try to insert pin in inflated balloon as all the gas particle particle present inside the balloon intend to move from higer concentration to lower concentration

Answer 2

EXPLANATION:

When the balloon is filled with air then the pressure of air is much more than the atmospheric pressure outside. When it is pricked with a pin it makes a hole in the balloon and the air from the balloon rushes out. But since the hole is a small one, therefore, the air gushes out and the balloon slowly deflates.

Since the pin creates small hole it does not allow too much of the air to go out at once. If the balloon has a larger hole it will deflate in an instant. Since the hole is big enough for the air to move inside.
