Conceptual check: Newton's third law

[Callista]

Homework Statement

A spherical rubber balloon inflated with air is held stationary, with its opening, on the west side, pinched shut. (a) Describe the forces exerted by the air inside and outside the balloon on sections of the rubber.

Homework Equations

?

The Attempt at a Solution

The air particles inside the balloon will push outwards on the rubber perpendicular to the surface. The air outside the rubber will push against the rubber perpendicular to the surface, and to a lesser degree. What I can't figure out is what WOULD be the matching force on each the air pushing in and the air pushing out.

Maybe the balloon rubber pushing against the air?

yes, if the air inside pushes outward on the inside face of the balloon, then the inside face of the balloon must push inward on the inside air. That is one force pair. But wait, there is another. What is it??
