If you suspend two balloons from a meter stick with different volumes of air--will it balance or lean more to one side---and which side?
If you mean the air we breathe, the meter stick will lean towards the balloon with the greater volume of air in it. However, if you fill the balloons with helium, the meter stick will lean toward the balloon with less helium, since helium makes balloons float.
Which gas is used to fill balloons?
Helium is normally used in balloons that float. Helium is the second lightest gas. Hydrogen is lighter, but it is also flammable and thus dangerous.When normal air is used to fill a balloon, the balloon will not be buoyant.If you fill a balloon with air from your lungs, there is a bit more water vapor and a bit more carbon dioxide and a bit less oxygen in the air inside the balloon, but that has a small impact on the buoyancy.The larger balloons that carry people are called hot air balloons because they are filled with hot air. They are buoyant because the hot air is fractionally lighter than normal air but there is a lot of it.Weather balloons and party balloons both use helium gas.As long as the gas plus the balloon is lighter than the air it displaces, the balloon will float in the air.Helium is normally used in balloons that float.

Can you fill helium balloons with normal air?
No it doesn't have helium. A hot air balloon derives it's lift from heated air, which is less dense and therefore lighter than normal air. A helium balloon derives it's lift from helium, a gas which at normal temperatures is less dense than normal air. So both fly 'lighter than air' but for different reasons.
Can you make a balloon that float in air?
Fill a balloon part way with helium, make an animal out of it and have it float.
What is something you can fill a balloon with?
You can fill balloons with gasses or liquids. Lighter-than-air gasses such as helium are the best if you want the balloon to float upwards. Ordinary air is no use as it is denser than the surrounding air, making the balloon too heavy to float upwards (it will float downwards). However, hot air is less dense than cold air and therefore lighter than air.All liquids are far too heavy to float, but water balloons are generally intended to be thrown, typically at people. Water balloons are typically made of thinner rubber than air balloons thus when the balloon strikes the person, the balloon's envelope bursts, soaking the person. Water balloons also have more practical uses, such as in Foley catheters. Here, the catheter is inserted into the bladder through the urinal tract, where a balloon is inflated with sterile water to prevent the catheter from falling back out of the bladder. A valve on the end of the catheter allows the balloon to be inflated or deflated for removal.Two things are water or helium.
Name something you filla balloon with?
I personally fill a balloon with my breath, the balloons I buy are already filled with helium.
How is it possible for a cylinder of helium to fill 700 balloons?
if its possible then the reason could be the expansion of high pressured helium from tank to balloon is large.
What is the safest gas to use in a balloon?
Helium is the safest gas to fill in balloons, as it is light and noncombustable.
When a gas like helium is used to fill balloons it does what and takes the shape of the balloon?
the gas takes the shape and size of the balloon
The gas used to fill party balloons contains only helium atoms What does This make helium?
Helium molecules have a lower molecular weight than air. This is why balloons filled with Helium will float in the air. Apex:element
If you wanted to make a balloon float in the air which gas should you use to fill the balloon?
Helium gas is lighter than air and hence balloons filled with helium will float in air.
Which has higher density balloon filled with water or helium?
I would say an air filled balloon if you fill it with just plain air. I am basing this on the principle of osmosis and diffusion. A substance such as a gas will travel from an area of increased concentration, such as a balloon filled with helium, to an area od decreased concentration, such as the room the balloon is in. If you fill the balloon with air identicle to that in the surrounding room it negates diffusion.
How can you determine if a balloon is filled with helium gas or hydrogen gas?
Fill two balloons. One with hydrogen gas and the other with helium gas. Allow them to float on a piece of string. Taking a lighted/burning taper/splinter. , and burst the two balloons with the burning splinter. The helium filled balloon will just 'pop' and fall to the ground. The hydrogen filled balloon will 'pop with a flash of flame' So helium ; NO Flame Hydrogen ; A FLASH of FLAME.
What is a sentence for helium?
Helium is an inert gas."They fill Helium in the balloons", father explains his child.
How is possible for one tank of helium to fill 700 balloon?
Helium is stored under pressure, so a lot is packed into a small space. The gas in the balloon is at only slightly more than normal air pressure. The helium spreads out as it fills the balloons.
If you suspend two balloons from a meter stick with different volumes of air--will it balance or lean more to one side---and which side?
If you mean the air we breathe, the meter stick will lean towards the balloon with the greater volume of air in it. However, if you fill the balloons with helium, the meter stick will lean toward the balloon with less helium, since helium makes balloons float.
Something you can fill a balloon with?
Balloons are filled with gas (such as helium), or a mixture of gasses (such as air) or hot gasses (such as hot air).Helium.
