Because the density of carbon dioxide is the double of the density of water (1,977 g/cm3) at 1 atm and O 0C.

Explanation of blowing up balloon with carbon dioxide?
As the gas is pushed into the balloon the internal pressure increases, to reduce this pressure the rubbery material expands to increase the volume and ultimately reduce the pressure. Once the balloon is filled with CO2 and the knot is tied the balloon will probably sink this is because CO2 is more dense than air.
Will CO2 make a balloon float?
Yes it will, if it's inside the balloon and hot enough.It actually won't. CO2 is a heavier gas than Earth's atmosphere, so it will sink. Think about it- we breathe out carbon dioxide, and balloons we blow up the normal way don't float.
Does a balloon float or sink on water and why?
a balloon float on water
If a balloon contains 0.15 moles of CO2 gas. how many molecules of CO2 are in the balloon?
The number of molecules is 0,90332112855.10e23.
What is a carbon dioxide balloon?
A balloon with CO2 instead of helium or hydrogen
Will balloon filled with water sink in oil?
Water is denser than oil, so yes, it will sink. That is true whether the water is inside a balloon or not.
What happens to air in a balloon?
it slowly leaks out of the balloon, to equalize oxygen and Co2 levels.
Will a balloon with argon gas sink faster then a balloon with krypton gas?
The balloon with krypton gas has a higher density than the balloon with argon gas.
Why does an argon balloon sink?
Because it is heavier than air.
Will a vinegar and baking soda balloon go up like a helium balloon?
"No as the vinegar and baking soda combined weight is too heavy - helium lighter than air therefore it goes up/floats" Hello - the above prior answer is correct if you mean attaching vinegar and baking soda as a payload. If you mean just capturing the gas from the reaction, the above answer ends up correct anyway, as the gaseous product of the reaction is CO2 (carbon dioxide). CO2 is about 50% heavier than air (mostly Nitrogen), so a balloon filled with CO2 will still sink. ---MexicoDoug
Why does helium rise and regular air sink?
A balloon filled with helium floats and a balloon filled with regular air falls to the ground because helium has less density than air so the air causes the balloon to sink because there are more molecules in it. The helium has less molecules in it so the balloon rises.
What happens to a balloon filled with helium or CO2 when put in the Refirgarator?
it freezes.
