What is one use of helium?
Helium is used for inflating balloons and dirigible airships.
Which gas is commonly used in balloons and airships?
Hydrogen was one of the earliest gases to be used for inflatable flying balloons, but following the Hindenberg disaster helium is now used, as it is chemically inert.
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.
How do you make helium balloons last?
The helium molecule is quite small and mobile. Your best bet is to use a balloon material that's fairly impervious already (i.e. mylar instead of latex). Failing that, there are solutions that provide a protective coating on latex balloons to help them retain helium for a longer time. Ask at your balloon shop if they use anything like that. (One brand name ... not endorsing, just mentioning; it's the first relevant hit that came up on a Google search for "latex balloon coating" ... is "Hi-Float.")
What gas does the opposite of helium?
That would be sulfur hexaflouride. that weighs 6 pound, witch makes your voice go lower, if you inhale it. Helium is -6 pounds, which makes your voice go higher. there both safe to inhale, but i think you need a license to handle sulfur hexaflouride.
What is one use of helium at room temperature?
it can be used to fill helium balloons
What is one use of helium?
Helium is used for inflating balloons and dirigible airships.
Where might one look to find hot air balloons?
One can find new and used Hot Air Balloons for sale from retailers such as Blastvalve, Global Plane Search, Cloud 9 Ballooning, Hot Air Zone and Cameron Balloons.
Why is there a difference in the size of the balloons after one week which is filled with air and helium?
helium gas is warmer than air.
Which gas is commonly used in balloons and airships?
Hydrogen was one of the earliest gases to be used for inflatable flying balloons, but following the Hindenberg disaster helium is now used, as it is chemically inert.
What is 1 example of a gas?
One example of a gas would be helium. Helium is used to fill up balloons and make them float.
What type of gas is used inside foil balloons?
Foil balloons are filled with helium. Helium is lighter than air and because of this, it is one of the gases that can make a balloon float. It's the preferred gas for these type of balloons because it isn't flammable and is inert, meaning undesired chemical reactions are rare.
What is the helium made of in balloons?
No, a ballon cannot be made of helium, which is a gas. A ballon is made of plastic or cloth. Helium is one of the light gases that may be put into a balloon to make it lighter than air and thus able to rise in the air.
How is the helium in the tank different from the helium in the balloon?
Helium balloons are usually mylar, a metal-coated plastic film while blow-up balloons are usually latex. Helium balloons are usually filled with helium of a decent purity, while blow-up balloons basically have the same gas mixture as the atmosphere around us. A little less oxygen and a little higher humidity if inflated by humans, exactly the same if inflated by a pump. Helium balloons will fly or float in the air, while blow-up balloons won't.
Where can you buy balloons with helium?
There are several companies that sell balloons wholesale. Balloon Warehouse and Bargain Balloons are just two. One can also purchase balloons at wholesale prices on eBay.
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.
If you fill 2 balloons one with helium and one in air which one would go down first?
the balloon with air will fall first because air is more dense than helium.
