When Zac releases the air from the balloon, the air will quickly escape from the balloon and mix with the surrounding atmosphere. The pressure inside the balloon is typically greater than the atmospheric pressure outside, causing the air to rush outwards. Once released, the air will disperse into the environment and will eventually diffuse, spreading out and mixing with the surrounding air molecules.
