How much carbon dioxide is needed to fill a party-sized balloon?

I've just been trying to find the answer to this too. After coming across several different articles where people used different calcuations the answer seems to be about 10 grammes or 1 cu ft. depending on whether you want weight or volume.
So 1 tonne of CO2 = 100,000 balloons full.
Which make my yearly driving total, er, 250,000! Or our family total abut 1.1 million... Yikes! A bit easier to picture it now.
Imagine if we had waste collections for all our CO2 emissions that were in baloons: you'd need a truck at your house every day and assuming you get 20 balloons per bin, about 150 bins emptied - unless of course it was compressed first ;-)

What gas needed for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide
What gases such as oxygen nitrogen and carbon dioxide are needed by most species?
Oxygen is needed by all organisms for respiration , carbon dioxide is needed by plants for photosynthesis , nitrogen is needed i form of nitrates by plants .
Is carbon dioxide needed by green plants?
yes
What are two important materials that are needed for photosynthesis?
Technically, they need three - H2O (water), CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), and Light Energy. However, Water and Carbon Dioxide are the only materials.
What are the materials needed to start photosynthesis?
Light, carbon dioxide, and water are the materials needed to start photosynthesis. The carbon dioxide is needed for the Calvin cycle while the light and water are required for the light reactions.
Why wouldn't yeast and water inflate a balloon unless you add sugar?
The sugar is needed as food for the yeast. The yeast gives off carbon dioxide as it digests the sugar. The carbon dioxide could be used to inflate the balloon. Without the sugar, the yeast remains dormant and does not give off carbon dioxide.
Do plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis?
YesCarbon dioxide is needed to get carbon. Carbon atoms of glucose are from CO2
Why is Carbon Dioxide needed in Photosynthesis?
CO2 is the source of carbon.
What compound provides the carbon needed to synthesize glucose?
Carbon dioxide provides the carbon needed to synthesize glucose.
What reactants are needed for photosynthesis and respiration?
carbon dioxide and water
Is carbon dioxide needed to burn fuels?
No
