What would happen if you opened the lid that contains helium gas?

This largely depends on the amount drank. Hellium is non poisonous but can cause asphyxiation.
A very small amount would do little to a human except freeze the first layer(s) of the mouth/esophagus. Also, liquefied gasses expand greatly as the re-vaporize. There is a slight chance for a sudden pressure change to occur. (more then likely you would have to burp loudly)
For more that a little bit:
Everything from extreme frost bite to death could occur. Each of the problems listed above would be magnified. If, by chance, you could get the liquid to the stomach before it vaporized the sudden increase in pressure would rupture the stomach. This would not be you primary concern. The muscles of the esophagus would probably freeze before a large amount could actually be swallowed.

A lighted splint is put into a gas jar of helium . what would happen?
the lighted splint would stop burning as Helium does not burn.
If an atom were to have two protons then it would?
It would by definition be Helium (atom number = number of protons = 2) but the nucleus of the stable isotope 4He also contains 2 neutrons (the mass number = total number of p's and n's = 4)
Which sample contains the same number of atoms as a gram atomic mass of he?
A gram atomic mass of helium (He) contains the same number of atoms as 1 mole of helium. Since 1 mole of any substance contains approximately 6.022 x 10^23 atoms, a sample of helium with a gram atomic mass would contain that same number of atoms.
What would happen if a lid from a jar with helium gas was removed?
The Helium gas will expand and rise into the suurounding the air as it is less dense and lighter air. Depending on the amount of helium and the size of the room the Helium could displace the breathable mix in the space and become a danger to health.
What would happen if there were no hydrogen ion difference when the channel opened?
No ATP generation, thus, no energy --> death :(
A jar contains helium.What would happen if the lid of the jar was removed?
The helium, being lighter than air, would simply rise out of the jar.
What would happen if you poured liquid helium into liquid nitrogen?
The liquid helium would boil and evaporate.
Why does a helium balloon lower after a while?
That would happen after it loses a certain amount of helium.
James is holding a balloon that contains 0.54g of helium gas What amount of helium is this?
If James is holding that much helium, he would be talking funny

What would happen if one person or country had total control of helium?
it would be cray.
What would happen if thallium and helium were combined?
Helium is chemically inert and does not combine with any other element (including thallium).
What would happen if helium didn't exist?
The reaction in the sun which gives us energy involves helium. If helium didn't exist we would receive no energy and life wouldn't exist on the earth.
What atom contains 1 electron and 2 protons?
None, for it to be an atom it has the have the same number of electrons and protons. Something with 1 electron and 2 protons would theoretically be a helium ion but helium does not form ions.
What would happen if you took a tub of air and went to the moon and opened the tub?
the air would come out
If an atom were to have two protons then it would?
It would by definition be Helium (atom number = number of protons = 2) but the nucleus of the stable isotope 4He also contains 2 neutrons (the mass number = total number of p's and n's = 4)
What atom would be created if chlorine fused with helium?
Helium is an inert gas meaning that it will not combine with other elements or compounds. More specifically, chlorine will not bond with helium. But, if it did, as could happen in a supernova explosion, since chlorine is 17 on the periodic chart, and helium is 2, when they fuse they would create an atom of potassium which is 19.
