What happens when hydrogen and helium mix?

Helium is completely inert, it is the most inert of all elements, and so it will not react in any way with hydrogen (or with any other element). So, if you mix hydrogen and helium, nothing happens. You have a mixture of hydrogen and helium. It's a lot lighter than air, you can make balloons that will float. Of course, you can do that with pure hydrogen or with pure helium, as well.
