Does a black helium balloon deflate faster than a white balloon?

less light gets in and the dye is thiner.


What effect will the lowering of the temperature have on the gas when a balloon filled with helium was put into a freezer?

I balloon will deflate. If you take it out of the freezer, give it some time and it will expand to normal.


Will a balloon deflate faster in warm or cold temperatures?

A helium balloon of the same material will deflate faster. Helium molecules are smaller than those in regular air, so they'll seep through tiny holes and imperfections in the skin of the balloon faster. When using the standard PIN analysis - both helium and common air balloons were found to deflate at the same rate. To the naked eye, both balloons stuck with a pin deflated with a pop. However, if the balloons are left intact, the helium balloon will deflate faster. This is because the helium molecules are small enough to pass through the rubber balloon, and they gradually leak out.


Why does a CO2 filled balloon deflate quicker than a helium filled balloon given that helium atoms are smaller and monatomic?

Well...it's because they're not the same balloons. There is a product out there called Super Hi-Float. You coat the inside of a balloon destined to be filled with helium with it, and it helps seal the pores of the latex hence holding the helium in longer. You probably wouldn't do this with a balloon you're going to fill with CO2.


How fast does a regular balloon deflate?

I would say that depends on the size of the balloon, the gas used to fill the balloon and the atmospheric pressure. Based on these parameters, a balloon may take anywhere from a few minutes to few hours to deflate.

To let the air out of a balloon or tire?

deflate


Which of a hydrogen filled balloon air filled balloon and a carbon dioxide filled balloon will deflate the fastest and which is the slowest and explain your answer?

A hydrogen balloon will deflate the fastest because molecules of hydrogen are the smallest and thus will more easily slip through the latex of the balloon. The carbon dioxide-filled balloon will deflate the slowest because these molecules are the biggest, and thus will have more trouble escaping the tiny pores in the balloon.


Will a helium balloon deflate as it floats skyward?

The opposite problem occurs the gas will expand as the balloon rises and it will explode from the pressure. Blimps and manned balloons avoid this hazard with maneuvering vents and ballast tanks- akin to those on subs.
