HEY!! HERE'S YOUR ANSWER
Explanation:
Orange peel has limonene in it, a chemical in the juice of orange peel. Limonene is the reason for the balloon to pop. Not just the balloon blast, it is also responsible for the refreshing fragrance that an orange produces as we peel one.
You may think’ why limonene’. Yes, limonene is a hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbons are nonpolar molecules and so limonene. How’s it going to cause a blast? Balloons are made of rubber and interestingly rubber is also a hydrocarbon and nonpolar too. Chemists say that nonpolar substances dissolve fine in another nonpolar substance.
When we spray limonene from the peel of an orange on the balloon, it causes the rubber to dissolve in limonene juice. Thus the surface of balloon thins down and the air pressure within the balloon pops out.
