What else can I help you with?
Would an hydrogen balloon float better than a helium one?
Hydrogen is lighter than helium. So hydrogen balloon will float better than helium.
How are hydrogen and helium alike?
I'm fairly certain that both hydrogen and helium are lighter then air. Example, if you filled a balloon with either the balloon would float. And both are combustible. Hydrogen is some what more dramatic in its combustion however, the tragic example being the hindenburg.
Which balloon would fly higher the one with helium or the one with air?
The balloon with helium.
Something you can fill a balloon with?
Balloons are filled with gas (such as helium), or a mixture of gasses (such as air) or hot gasses (such as hot air).Helium.
What kind of gas is inside a weather balloon?
Contemporary weather balloons are usually filled with helium. Helium is lighter than air, and this allows the balloon to rise as this gas is lighter than air.Hydrogen would also work as it has a low density, like helium. And hydrogen is a bit cheaper than helium because it can be "made" from water. But hydrogen is flammable or even explosive, and it is generally not used for that reason.
Why does Helium pump up a balloon?
Nearly any gas can pump up a balloon because it has mass. However, helium is used because it is lighter than air, makes balloons rise, and is fairly safe. Sure, you could put hydrogen in a balloon and it would rise, but it would be highly explosive.
What will a helium filled balloon do in space?
In space, a helium-filled balloon will expand further due to the lack of air pressure outside the balloon. Eventually, the balloon will burst because the pressure from the helium inside will exceed the pressure outside.
Does Saturn have supplies?
Saturn is a gas planet made of hydrogen, helium and methane. It would be difficult to get any of these with current technology.
Does helium contract in cold weather and cause a helium balloon to sink and if warmed will it rise again?
Helium will contract in cold weather, but that may not cause a balloon filled with it to sink since the air will also contract - and by about the same amount - so the relative densities of the helium and the surrounding are would remain about the same and the buoyancy of a helium filled balloon would remain
What gas can make a balloon float Is it hydrogen or Nitrogen or Argon or Chlorine?
Hydrogen can make a balloon float. Nitrogen, argon, and chlorine will not. However, hydrogen is combustible and in a balloon that cam near an ignition source, could produce a fire or explosion. The preferred gas for balloons, if cost is not an issue, is helium, which does not burn and is still very light.
Why does a helium balloon lower after a while?
That would happen after it loses a certain amount of helium.
Which has higher density balloon filled with water or helium?
I would say an air filled balloon if you fill it with just plain air. I am basing this on the principle of osmosis and diffusion. A substance such as a gas will travel from an area of increased concentration, such as a balloon filled with helium, to an area od decreased concentration, such as the room the balloon is in. If you fill the balloon with air identicle to that in the surrounding room it negates diffusion.
