Yes. The reasons are helium is monoatomic
and light and therefore at a particular temperature the helium atoms move faster and can diffuse out quicker than the larger molecules N2, O2 in an air filled balloon. (This is Grahams Law of gaseous effusion in practise)
Gases are diffusing through the
balloon membrane in both directions- the pressure difference is not really that great after all you can inflate a balloon using only lung power.
Fill a balloon with a gas such as SF6 then it will inflateas the lighter faster moving air diffuse in at a higher rate than SF6 diffuses out

Does a black helium balloon deflate faster than a white balloon?
less light gets in and the dye is thiner.
Is a helium balloon heavier than air filled balloon?
No. Helium is lighter than air
Does compressed air go faster than helium?
Speed is not determined by the composition of a gas. Too may other variables. As phrased, there is no answer possible to your question. Will helium seep out of a balloon faster than air? Yes. Go faster? Explain your question.
Why does a helium balloon go up?
A helium balloon floats because helium gas is lighter than air. By filling a balloon with helium, the balloon also becomes lighter than air. The helium balloon floats for the same reason that objects float on water: objects less dense than water are pushed up by buoyant forces equal to the weight of water displaced by that object. What happens in water also happens in air, and the helium balloon is pushed upwards by a force equal to the weight of air it displaces.
Why do you have to hang onto your helium balloon?
If you let go of your helium balloon it will start to rise because helium is lighter than air.

If air is denser why does helium pop faster?
Because helium is less denser than air a helium balloon can rise; it is very simple !
Is a helium balloon heavier than air filled balloon?
No. Helium is lighter than air
What makes a child's balloon rise?
Helium. The helium gas in the balloon is lighter than the air outside the balloon.

Would an hydrogen balloon float better than a helium one?
Hydrogen is lighter than helium. So hydrogen balloon will float better than helium.
Why is that a big balloon filled with the helium floats?
Helium is lighter than air. hence helium balloon will float in air.
What makes a helium balloon fly?
A balloon filled with helium flies because helium weighs less than air.

How does helium make a balloon rise when air doesn'?
Helium is lighter than air. So helium balloon rises in air.
Why do you have to hang onto your helium balloon?
If you let go of your helium balloon it will start to rise because helium is lighter than air.
What fills a helium balloon?
Helium which is a lighter-than-air gas, allowing the balloon to float upwards.
