Why are airships filled with helium and not carbon dioxide?
Natashahz
Helium has a mass less than that of carbon dioxide.so it will help the ship to float over the water.more over it will not react with any object as it is a noble gas.

Is Carbon dioxide filled with balloon a chemical change?
No. helium is released in outer air but does not lose or change its chemical formula
Does helium produce carbon dioxide?
No. helium does not produce carbon dioxide
Does helium have carbon dioxide in it?
Helium does not combine with other elements and pure helium will not have carbon dioxide in it.
Is carbon dioxide lighter than helium?
No. Carbon dioxide is heavier than helium.
How does helium react with carbon monoxide?
helium has no chemical reaction with carbon dioxide
what causes more static electricity a balloon filled with helium, oxygen, or carbon dioxide?
The balon filled with helium will cause more static,a ballon filled with carbon dioxide may be dangerous.
What are airships filled with now?
helium, mostly
What lasts longer helium filled balloons or carbon dioxide filled balloons?
From common sense you'd think that the answer is carbon dioxide. But try it and you discover the opposite.
What shape are most airships?
Airships are usually the shape of a oval. They look like blimps. Airships are usually filled with helium to keep them afloat.

Does helium help plants grow?
I did an experiment, where a Plant was in a vacuum filled with helium and it died after 3 or 4 days after sprouting. I'm not sure about Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide + Helium though
Which is a compound oxygen helium carbon dioxide nitrogen?
carbon dioxide
How does helium react with carbon monoxide?
helium has no chemical reaction with carbon dioxide
Why is helium used in airships rather than oxygen?
Helium is a lighter gas than oxygen, ever seen balloons filled with helium? They rise upwards with heat due to a lesser amount of particles. If we used oxygen, the airships wouldn't get off the ground!
