In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:
-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide. The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.
-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.
-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.
-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes. Make the slide like an air hockey table.
-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water. The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.
-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide. If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.
-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide. Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.
Answer:
The ballon will brust at
<em>Pmax = 518 Torr ≈ 0.687 Atm </em>

Explanation:
Hello!
To solve this problem we are going to use the ideal gass law
PV = nRT
Where n (number of moles) and R are constants (in the present case)
Therefore, we can relate to thermodynamic states with their respective pressure, volume and temperature.
--- (*)
Our initial state is:
P1 = 754 torr
V1 = 3.1 L
T1 = 294 K
If we consider the final state at which the ballon will explode, then:
P2 = Pmax
V2 = Vmax
T2 = 273 K
We also know that the maximum surface area is: 1257 cm^2
If we consider a spherical ballon, we can obtain the maximum radius:

Rmax = 10.001 cm
Therefore, the max volume will be:

Vmax = 4 190.05 cm^3 = 4.19 L
Now, from (*)

Therefore:
Pmax= P1 * (0.687)
That is:
Pmax = 518 Torr
