That would be the Hindenburg if I'm not mistaken.

Why helium is used in weather balloons rather than hydrogen?
Because of an accident that happened. A weather balloon was filled with hydrogen and when lightning hit it, it set on fire. Hydrogen is flammable, so they use Helium instead, because Helium is a nobel gas and so isn't flammable, but also lighter than air so the balloon floats.
Why is hydrogen used in weather balloons?
Hydrogen is used in weather balloons because they are very light which help the balloon to float or fly easily.
What did Jacques Alexandre Charles first attempted to use hydrogen as in gas?
hot air balloon
What element is colorless gas and used in balloons?
'Helium' because it is also an INERT (Noble) gas. Hydrogen could be used to make the balloon float/rise, but hydrogen is a flammable gas. On explosion you will have a flash of flame.
What is the purpose of the radiosonde?
The radiosonde is attached helium or hydrogen- filled balloon, generally called a weather balloon, and the balloon lifts the radiosonde to altitudes exceeding 115,000 feet. During the radiosonde's ascent, it transmits data on temperature, pressure, and humidity to a sea-, air-, or land-based receiving station (According to google that is) XD ;)
The Hindenburg was a balloon that exploded filled with what gas?
Hydrogen.
How can you add a gas to another gas?
I captured hydrogen through a tube in a balloon. Then, with the balloon not all the way blown up, I put some oxygen in it. When I lit the balloon with a lighted punk it exploded with more heat and force than just a balloon with hydrogen. when the two gases were in the same balloon and not exploded they were added but not combined. When they exploded they became combined. Please, do not do this unless you have an experienced lab tech helping you.
Would a balloon exploded filled with gas?
A balloon filled with hydrogen can explode.
What was the Hindenburg that exploded over Lakehurst May 6 1937?
It was a dirigible- a lighter-than-air airship with a rigid frame. It was lighter than air since it was filled with hydrogen gas. Unfortunately hydrogen is also extremely flammable.
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.
Why hydrogen balloon rise in air?
Hydrogen atoms are less dense than the air, therefore hydrogen balloon rises in air.
When did the airship Hindenberg exploded over New Jersey?
1937
What was the Hindenburg?
the Hindenburg is an airship that exploded inMay 6, 1937
Why the position of hydrogen is not conform?
in a balloon and in a hydrogen car
Is there more helium or hydrogen in a hot air balloon?
A hot air balloon doesn't contain helium or hydrogen.
What was the R101 filled with when it exploded?
R101 was filled with hydrogen.
What is a carbon dioxide balloon?
A balloon with CO2 instead of helium or hydrogen
