no if there is no air in the container (a vacuum) to begin with the addition of air will add mass to the container. air weighs roughly .0807 lbs per cubic foot

What will happen when cold air and warm are added to the same container?
when cold and warm air are added in the same container it causes water.
If two things weigh the same in water do they weigh the same in air too?
they would weigh the same everywhere
Is the volume of air inside a container still the same when some water is poured inside?
No, the water displaces the air if the container is open.
A student weighs a container and then adds air When the student weighs the container again the weight will be?
the same
Does air weigh more than water?
No. Air weighs significantly less than water. Because of this, water will alwaysdisplace air in a container and move to the bottom.Here's a ballpark number:A handful of water is usually about 815 times as heavy as the same amountof air at sea level.
How can additional gases can be added to the air?
Additional gases can be added to the air by releasing them from their current container or confinement. Gases will naturally mix together in various concentrations depending on their composition.
Does a balloon without air weigh the same filled with air?
yes
Can you get the mass of air with the triple beam balance?
It is difficult to weigh air, since air has a buoyancy that is exactly equal to its own weight (being surrounded by more air) - sort of like trying to weigh water while you are underwater. However, if you had a vacuum chamber in which you could work (wearing a spacesuit so you could breathe) then you could weigh air, inside a container (you would also have to weight the container separately, of course). A triple beam balance is sensitive enough for this job, if you use a large container.Alternatively, you could weigh a light weight can, and then evacuate it and weigh it again. It will weigh less by the quantity of air excluded. But it is important that the can remains the same shape after evacuation, but your vacuum need not be particularly good for a reasonable measurement.The mass of dry air is approx 0.0012 grams per cm3. Or about 1.2kg per m3. (check my math.)
Will a lorry with birds on it weigh the same if all the birds lift up in the air?
If the lorry contains the birds in a sealed container then the weight is unchanged. As they lift from their perches they must accelerate and the resultant downward force on the lorry will make it appear to weigh more for a very short time.
What weighs more a flat or full tire?
A full tire is heavier than a flat tire. When a they are both flat they weigh the same but added air makes the full tire heavier.
There are 10 grams of iron in a sealed container with moist air The sealed container with iron and moist air weighs a total 15 grams what is true after the iron rusts?
It stays the same
How will you provide that the air has weight?
Take a large container, pump out all the air from inside it. Weigh it. Put air inside and then weigh it again. The difference would be the weight of the air inside. Air molecules have mass (air is "stuff") and things with mass have weight when in a gravitational field, such as on Earth. If air didn't have any weight, we wouldn't even have an atmosphere.
