I want to ask :
The reason for water balloons to not pop while you're burning it is because of both Heat Capacity and Conductivity right ? But is it related to the density also ? Coz if the density is high, the molecules of the water will transfer the heat quicker.
Hope i can get my answer :) Thanks !

Both specific heat capacity and conductivity depend on density. So you already took it into account.
