What is the difference between a full and an empty balloon?
A full balloon contains more gas than an empty balloon (even an empty balloon contains a little air). Therefore a full balloon is heavier than an empty balloon (assuming the balloons are the same weight to begin with). However, if filled with a lighter-than-air gas, such as helium, the full balloon will defy gravity due to its increased buoyancy. The only other difference is that the skin of a full balloon will be stretched and will therefore be much thinner than the skin of an empty balloon. This stretching increases the pressure upon the gas contained therein, therefore the gas is compressed inside the balloon.
Why is a balloon heavier when it is blown up with air?
This depends on whether you consider what is inside the balloon to be a part of the balloon, since the weight of the balloon skin will remain the same regardless of what is inside it. If, however, you consider the contents of the balloon to constitute a part of the balloon's mass then it will always be heavier when inflated, regardless of the density of the substance with which it is inflated. However, in this case the density of the balloon will fall when inflated if the contents are less dense than the material of the balloon, which is highly likely since the substance would probably be a gas. Therefore the balloon would be heavier but less dense.
What weighs more an empty cylender or an cylender filled with compressed gas?
Your cylinder full of gas will weigh more, for it contains the mass of the gas. Some gases, when compressed, such as CO2, are in liquid form, and quite heavy.
Why does a balloon filled with cold air falls to the ground?
Cold air is denser than warm air, therefore a balloon filled with cold air will weigh more than an identically sized balloon full of warm air. This extra weight causes the balloon to sink bellow warmer air. Cold air is denser than warm because as molecules become cooler they move more slowly causing them to be closer together.
What if a balloon is heated what happens to the volume of the air in the balloon if the pressure is constant?
For a balloon that is sealed and not full the volume of air inside the balloon will increase as it is heated. This is not however how hot air balloons work. A hot air balloon is essentially a fixed volume when it is inflated. If the air inside the balloon is heated the air inside becomes less dense so some of the air exits the balloon via the mouth of the balloon. As the air inside the balloon cools it becomes more dense so some air is ingested via the mouth of the balloon to keep it full. With each heating and cooling cycle, the pressure inside the balloon remains constant, the volume of the balloon remains constant but there is this movement of air out of and back into the balloon.

How much more does the air in a tire weigh at full psi compared to when the tire is empty?
Exactly the same -
How much more does a fully compressed car tire weigh what is full compared to when it is empty?
Slightly more if there is moisture in the air.
What weighs more 50 pints or 50 pounds?
That depends on what's in the pints. If they're full of air, they weigh much less than 50 pounds. If they're full of water, they weigh pretty close to 50 pounds. If they're full of stones or gold, they weigh a lot more than 50 pounds. If the pints are empty, they weigh nothing at all.
How much goes an empty 265 gallon glass aquarium weigh?
It weights more than 400 lbs. Empty ! Full of water,rocks,decorations and fish will weigh estimated 1 & 1/2 tons
How heavy is 2.5 cubic meters?
It all depends what's in those cubic metres. If they're full of air and not surrounded by more air, then they weigh about 7.1 pounds. If they're full of water, then they weigh about 5,512 pounds. If they're full of stones or lead, then they weigh even more than that. If they're completely empty, then their weight is zero.

How much does a glass 75 gallon fish tank weigh?
Empty, probably around 30-50 pounds (guessing) -- Full with ONLY water, it will weigh about 850 pounds. Full with water, gravel, and decorations, it will weigh more.
How much does a 30lb propane bottle fully filled weigh?
There will be a TW on the side of the cylinder this is the tare weight the weight of the cylinder empty. (TW 27) would be an 27 pound empty cylinder. A full cylinder will weigh 30 pounds more than the tare weight.
How much does an empty box weigh?
an empty bow depending on its size can weigh between 2 oz. to 100 oz. it can though weigh less or more depending like i said on the size of the box
