What else can I help you with?
Would a helium balloon float on a planet made of hydrogen?
No, because the density oh helium is bigger (x 10).
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.
Can a balloon filled with hydrogen gas lift a beaker?
It depends on the balloon's size, the ambient conditions, and the weight of the beaker, so theoretically it can be done. However, in practice, you are unlikely to have a balloon with a large enough volume. Something approaching weather balloon size would do it, certainly, but your average party balloon? Not a chance. helium or hot air makes a better choice. Hydrogen is very flammable. Check out the Story on the Hindenburg which I posted in the related links box below.
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 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.
Would a balloon float longer if it had 100 percent helium or half helium and half oxygen?
100% helium
