Is balloons filled with hydrogen and oxygen?
If I am right in interpreting the question as "Are balloons normally filled with hydrogen and oxygen?", then the answer would be no. Although they can be, as both substances are gases, the majority of balloon are filled with air, a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases. If you mean the balloons that float, they are filled with helium
How can you determine if a balloon is filled with helium gas or hydrogen gas?
If you are comparing two balloons side by side, a hydrogen balloon will have more lift than a helium balloon of the same size and construction.If you open the balloons, the hydrogen is flammable, while the helium is not.
What gas are balloons filled with to make them float?
Balloons are usually filled with helium gas to make them float. Helium is lighter than air and provides the necessary lift for the balloon to float.
What colourless gas is for filling balloons?
Balloons are usually filled with air. It is a colourless gas. There are other colourless gas options: helium, hydrogen, methane. Coloured gas options (chlorine, bromine) are generally reactive with the rubber or fabric used in balloon manufacture and are undatisfacoty as balloon fillers.
Is hydrogen inert gas?
Far from it!!! When mixed with oxygen it readily ignites , Remember the 'pop' test in the lab. for testing for hydrogen. However, the next element on the peridoci table , which is helium (He) is the most inert elememnt of all. The classic demonstration in the lab. is to have two balloons. one filled with hydrogen and one filled with helium. Put a lighted(burning) taper to the hydrogen balloon and it will explode, with a flame flash Put a lighted(burning) taper to the helium balloon and it will explode but no flame flash.
What element is party balloons filled with?
They are filled by Hydrogen gas.
What are weather balloons filled with?
Weather balloons are typically filled with helium or hydrogen gas to provide buoyancy and lift the instrument package into the atmosphere. Helium is the most commonly used gas because it is non-flammable and more stable than hydrogen.
Which gases are balloons often filled with?
hydrogen gas

Are balloons filed with hydrogen?
They could be, but generally are not. Hydrogen can be an explosive gas in our atmosphere, and a spark could cause the balloon to ignite and explode. In 1937, the airship Hindenberg, which was filled with hydrogen, did so. Children's party balloons are generally filled with helium.
How do you know hydrogen gas is lighter than air?
Balloons filled with it float in air
How do weather balloons work to gather atmospheric data?
Weather balloons work by carrying instruments called radiosondes that measure various atmospheric parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pressure as they ascend through the atmosphere. The balloons are filled with helium or hydrogen gas, which causes them to rise and reach high altitudes where the data can be collected and transmitted back to the ground station.
What are the gases used to fly balloons?
Two of the gases that are used to fly balloons are Hydrogen and Helium. Helium is the preferred gas because Hydrogen is very explosive. The Hindenburg disaster was caused by the ignition of the Hydrogen gas that filled it.
Is a hot air balloon filled with helium?
No, hot air balloons are typically filled with hot air to become buoyant and rise. Helium is an alternative gas used in some balloons, like party balloons or weather balloons, due to its lighter weight than air.
How do you know hydrogen is there in the air?
First take test tube (an empty test tube) hydrogen is colorless ,tasteless and odorless. (it is also very light that why weather balloons are filled with hydrogen). Then put a burning splint at the mouth of the test tube and you know that there is hydrogen in the air because hydrogen burns with a pop when it is mixed with air so now you know that there is hydrogen in the air.
When balloons are filled with this they are lighter than air.?
Hot air, hydrogen or helium are lighter than cold air.
What is the different between hot air balloons and hydrogen gas balloons?
Hot air balloons are filled with heated air, which expands and has less density than the surrounding air, so that the ballon floats upward -- until it cools back down. Hot air balloons usually carry a stove, to keep heating the air (which rises into the balloon, displacing the cooler air and pushing it out of the ballon -- this is an example of convection). Hydrogen balloons are filled with hydrogen gas, which is much less dense than air, so that it rises -- unless the hydrogen leaks out. Hydrogen is not only difficult to keep from leaking out, but also quite flammable and can explode if there is a spark nearby. Also: Helium balloons work similarly to hydrogen balloons, except that helium is not flammable, it is slightly denser than hydrogen, and it is rare and hard to find on Earth. The sun is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, and the fusion process that makes it radiate comes from transforming hydrogen into helium, with a large release of energy.
