Place the balloon in a bell jar. If available also add some shaving cream and fresh marshmallows. Ask the instructor for help if you are unfamiliar with this apparatus. The motor of the vacuum pump will remove air from the bell jar when it is turned on. Make a prediction about what you think will happen to the balloon as air is removed from the bell jar.

Answer:

The balloon will collapse

Step-by-step explanation:

When air is removed from the bell jar, the balloon will collapse if the internal pressure from the balloon does not balance the atmospheric pressure from the surroundings.
