How big is the balloon? And what pressure do you require it to be inflated to? Greater size requires more He, thus more cost. Greater pressure requires more He, thus more cost. I have friends who launch helium-filled weather balloons, with Amateur Radio payloads. Once inflated, these balloons have a diameter of about 10 feet, and once released reach an altitude of about 90,000 feet. The cost of the helium for a balloon like this is about $60. Helium isn't cheap. Actually it's becoming scarce, and the US reserve supply, stored underground near Amarillo, TX, is lower today than it has been in the living memory of most folks. A balloon of the size that most folks are acquainted with would probably cost pennies to fill to a pressure that is less than its bursting point. Hope that helps.
What else can I help you with?
A helium balloon contains 0.46 g of helium how many moles of helium does it contain?
To find the number of moles of helium in the balloon, you need to divide the mass of helium by its molar mass. The molar mass of helium is approximately 4 g/mol. Therefore, 0.46 g of helium is equal to 0.46 g / 4 g/mol = 0.115 mol of helium in the balloon.
How many grams of helium must be added to a balloon containing 8g helium?
To inflate a balloon to a desired size, we need to know the volume and required lift. Typically a 9-inch helium-filled balloon can lift about 8g of weight. If you want to increase the lift, you can add more helium.
Is helium a metal or a nonmetal?
Helium is a nonmetal. Think about the helium balloon!
How many atoms are in a balloon?
The number of atoms in a balloon would depend on the size of the balloon and the gas inside it. However, a typical sized balloon filled with helium might contain around 1x10^22 atoms.
What element is colorless gas and used in balloons?
Helium is a colorless gas that is commonly used to fill balloons to make them float. It is lighter than air and non-flammable, making it safe for use in balloons.
When a gas like helium is used to fill balloons it does what and takes the shape of the balloon?
When helium is used to fill a balloon, it expands to fill the space inside the balloon due to its low density. The helium gas takes the shape of the balloon because it moves and distributes evenly throughout the balloon's interior.
How do you fill up the balloon on mission 8 on club penguin?
You fill up the balloon by asking G for the super 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.
How many pounds of Helium does it take to fill a 12 inch latex balloon?
It typically takes about 0.5 pounds of helium to fill a 12-inch latex balloon.
If you wanted to make a balloon float in the air which gas should you use to fill the balloon?
Helium gas is lighter than air and hence balloons filled with helium will float in air.
When would less helium be needed to fill a balloon?
The lower the atmospheric pressure, the less helium is needed.
How does a helium balloon float but not a balloon filled with air?
Helium is a lighter element compared to air, helium also has fewer molecules than air.
Name something you filla balloon with?
I personally fill a balloon with my breath, the balloons I buy are already filled with helium.
How can you send a balloon flying with a letter stuck to it?
Fill the balloon with a gas which is lighter than air: helium, for example.
Can you make a balloon that float in air?
Yes, a helium-filled balloon will float in the air because helium is less dense than the surrounding air. When filled with helium, the balloon experiences a buoyant force that causes it to rise and float.
How do you fill a balloon with helium?
Buy a cannister full of pressurised helium (make sure you read the instructions on the cannister). Fasten a balloon over the nozzle, open the tap just enough to let helium out. Close the tap when the balloon is full.
What is the average cost of a helium balloon?
The average cost of a helium balloon typically ranges from $1 to $10, depending on factors such as size, design, and location where it is purchased. Specialty or custom-designed balloons may cost more than standard balloons.
