The first balloon was invented by Brazilian priest Bartolomeu de Gusmão , and the first public exhibition was to the Portuguese Court on August 8 , 1709 , in the hall of the Casa da India in Lisbon

Helium however was invented by Sir Norman Lockyer. He taught at the Royal College of Science and specialised in studying the sun. His investigations into sun spots resulted in his discovery of the element that he named "helium'.

Why hydrogen balloon rise in air?

A hydrogen balloon rises in air because the hydrogen gas inside the balloon is lighter than the surrounding air. This makes it buoyant, causing it to float upwards. The difference in density between the hydrogen gas and the air creates an upward force, lifting the balloon off the ground.

What happens to hydrogen when it is in a balloon?

The hydrogen in a sealed rubber party balloon is compressed slightly by the balloon rubber. So its density decreases a little, its pressure increases, and its temperature increases. But the temperature soon returns to the ambient temperature as heat is lost through the balloon wall. Also, the hydrogen will not stay in the balloon for long because it will leak out through pores in the rubber.


Would an hydrogen balloon float better than a helium one?

Hydrogen is lighter than helium. So hydrogen balloon will float better than helium.


Which of a hydrogen filled balloon air filled balloon and a carbon dioxide filled balloon will deflate the fastest and which is the slowest and explain your answer?

A hydrogen balloon will deflate the fastest because molecules of hydrogen are the smallest and thus will more easily slip through the latex of the balloon. The carbon dioxide-filled balloon will deflate the slowest because these molecules are the biggest, and thus will have more trouble escaping the tiny pores in the balloon.
