Well, when I made a vortex using air, I used gases that are lighter.


Why do noble gases in balloon float in air?

Noble gases are lighter than air. Hence balloons filled with noble gases will float in air.


Greenhouse gases are obviously lighter than air How then are they measured by weight How does one weigh something that is lighter than air?

Greenhouse gasses are NOT "obviously lighter than air"; carbon dioxide is significantly heavier than air.One way to weigh something that's lighter than air is to weigh it in a vacuum.


Why do certain gases allow a balloon to rise?

Because the gases filling the balloon are lighter than the surrounding air.


What gases lift a balloon into the air?

Anything less dense than air (hydrogen, helium, hot air).


What determines if gases or vapors are lighter or heavier than air?

The molecular weight of the gas or vapor plays a key role in determining whether it is lighter or heavier than air. Gases or vapors with lower molecular weights are typically lighter than air and will rise, while those with higher molecular weights are heavier and tend to sink. Temperature and pressure can also impact the behavior of gases and vapors relative to air.


What are some examples of lighter than air vehicles?

Are all noble gases lighter than air?

No. The molar mass of dry air is 28.97 g/mol. Noble gases are monatomic, so their atomic mass represent their molar mass. From this we can tell that helium and neon are less dense (lighter) than air, while argon (atomic mass 39.9) onwards are denser than air.


Which gases weigh less than air?

Appended is a list of gases with their specific gravities. The specific gravity of a gas is a comparison of its density with that of air at the same temperature and pressure. Gases with a Specific Gravity (SG) less than1 are lighter than air.


Are farts lighter than air, and if so, why?

Yes, farts are lighter than air because they are primarily composed of gases like methane and carbon dioxide, which are less dense than the surrounding air. This causes them to rise and disperse in the atmosphere.


Is natural gas lighter or heavier than air?

Natural gas is lighter than air and rises.


Is air lighter than carbon monoxide?

CO is lighter than airAt 25 degrees Celsius and 1 atm of pressure, carbon monoxide's density is 1.145kg/m3, and the density of air is 1.1839kg/m3. So carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air.
