Interpretation: The cause due to which weather balloon pops when it reaches a sufficient high altitude needs to be explained.
Concept introduction: Gas molecules consists large number of minute particles. Gas molecules are so small that their actual volume is negligible friction of total volume occupied by gas.
Answer to Problem SII2RE
Lifting gas expands as weather balloon rises. Thus weather balloon pops when it reaches a sufficient high altitude.
Explanation of Solution
Weather balloon expands as it is completely full and tight. The balloon can burst if there is lifting gas. Atmosphere gets thinner in higher the Earth.
Weather balloon can rise only until atmosphere surrounding it that has same weight as the gas present in the balloon.
