Are hydrocarbons heavier than air?
Some are heavier, but some are lighter. For example, methane rises but propane sinks.
Why does'nt a balloon with carbon dioxide float and a balloon with helium does?
Because, carbon dioxide is heavier than air whereas helium is lighter than air.
What is the difference between lighter than air vehicles and heavier than air vehicles?
Just, simply, Lighter than Air Vehicles are lighter than air, so that makes them fly, and Heavier than air vehicles are heavier than air, but they use airfoils on the wings to fly.
Is carbon dioxide lighter than helium?
No, carbon dioxide is heavier than helium. Carbon dioxide has a molecular weight of about 44 g/mol, while helium has a molecular weight of 4 g/mol. This means that helium is lighter than carbon dioxide and will rise above it in the presence of air.
Is helium lighter or heavier?
Helium is lighter than air
Is Nitrous Oxide lighter or heavier than air?
Nitrous Oxide is heavier than air.
Why are aircraft categorized into heavier-than-air and heavier-than-air vehicles?
One is lighter and the other one is heavier. :D
Which makes balloons fly up in the air carbon dioxide helium or hydrogen?
Helium is typically used to make balloons fly up in the air because it is lighter than air and creates lift. Hydrogen is also lighter than air and can be used, but it is flammable. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and would cause a balloon to sink.
What is lighter than helium but heavier than air?
hydrogen
Why are aircrafts categorized into heavier-than-air and lighter-than-air?
they are heavier than air hence why they don't fly unless in motion.
Is R134a lighter than air?
No, it is heavier than air and will sink to the floor.
What is the difference between lighter than air and heavier than an air vehicle?
"Lighter than air" aircraft are lighter than air! The most common are blimps. They do not rely on wings to generate lift. They contain a lighter than air gas (ex:helium) that lifts the craft into the air when ties to the ground are released. "Heavier than air" aircraft are the opposite. They rely on wings to generate lift to get into the air. Common heavier than air aircraft are general airplanes you see in the sky everyday.
