Why does a CO2 filled balloon deflate quicker than a helium filled balloon given that helium atoms are smaller and monatomic?

Well...it's because they're not the same balloons.
There is a product out there called Super Hi-Float. You coat the inside of a balloon destined to be filled with helium with it, and it helps seal the pores of the latex hence holding the helium in longer.
You probably wouldn't do this with a balloon you're going to fill with CO2.

Will a balloon deflate faster in warm or cold temperatures?
A helium balloon of the same material will deflate faster. Helium molecules are smaller than those in regular air, so they'll seep through tiny holes and imperfections in the skin of the balloon faster. When using the standard PIN analysis - both helium and common air balloons were found to deflate at the same rate. To the naked eye, both balloons stuck with a pin deflated with a pop. However, if the balloons are left intact, the helium balloon will deflate faster. This is because the helium molecules are small enough to pass through the rubber balloon, and they gradually leak out.
If you push a balloon in a tank of water and let go what will happen to the balloon?
It will contract and become smaller, because of the pressure of the water pushing down on it. It will get smaller and smaller the further under water it is.
Does the temperature affect the maximum size you can inflate a balloon?
yes, because the cooler it gets the slower the particles go in a balloon, so it gets smaller.
When you put a balloon in a cold room then in a worm room does its density change?
No. The volume of the helium will change as it expands the balloon due to the increase in temperature. The density of an element never changes. The reason for that is because density is just a fancy way of saying 'The atoms are this far apart' in the equation mass/volume = density.
Why does a solid solute dissolve quicker if it is crushed into smaller particles?
YES by crushing it into smaller particles we increase the surface area thereby increasing its contact with the solution

What happens when the muscle in your chest moves to cause you to exhale?
When you breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm and rib muscles relax, reducing the space in the chest cavity. As the chest cavity gets smaller, your lungs deflate, similar to releasing of air from a balloon
What is the word to gradually become smaller?
Degrade. Shrink, deflate, taper, decrease.
Medium balloon and small balloon filled with hellium which holds more heat?
Small Balloon because it is smaller the heat is compacted and closer so the smaller balloon has more heat.
Why does a balloon in a constant environment get smaller and smaller?
Effusion
What happens to a balloon when pressure becomes less?
When the internal pressure in a balloon falls, the balloon get smaller and less buoyant.
If you place a balloon filled with air into the refriferator the balloon will get smaller.The balloon undergoes what?
The air particles in the balloon compress due to the cold atmosphere in the refrigerator which causes the balloon to be smaller.
What happens when an inflated balloon is exposed to cold air?
When an inflated balloon is exposed to cold air, provided pressure is constant, the volume will decrease. Bring the balloon back to a warmer spot, and the gas gains kinetic energy from the warm air, and the balloon will plump back up.
What happens to the atmospheric pressure acting on the balloon as the balloon rises?
due to pressure inside the balloon, will be higher because the balloon will try to get smaller and thus the balloon will ascent due to the low density of the helium inside the balloon.
What happens to the air pressure inside a balloon when the balloon is squeezed to half it volume at constant temperature?
The force of the pressure put on the balloon is squeezed into smaller particles so the volume is smaller. :) From Jade Nicole White. X
Does the size of the grains of sugar affect how fast they dissolve?
yes, the smaller the grain, the quicker it will dissolve. This is because the smaller grain has less surface area and can be broken down quicker.
What happens to the pressure of the air outside of the balloon as it goes higher?
The pressure inside the balloon will be higher because the balloon will try to get smaller and thus the balloon will ascent due to the low density of the helium inside the balloon.
