The density of a gas depends on its molecular or Atomic Mass. Carbon dioxide has a molecular mass of about 44 AMU (Atomic Mass Units) while helium has a mass of about 4 AMU.

Why does a helium filled balloon rise in relation to its density?
I'm not sure I understand the question but here goes: Helium is lighter [less dense] than air, so a helium filled balloon rises because it floats up on the more dense air.
Why does a helium balloon float up when it is released?
A helium balloon floats up when released because helium is less dense than air. The helium inside the balloon is lighter than the surrounding air, causing it to create a buoyant force that pushes the balloon upward.
When you replace helium in a balloon with less dense hydrogen does the buoyant force on the balloon change if the balloon remains the same size?
Yes, the buoyant force on the balloon will increase when less dense hydrogen is used instead of helium. This is because hydrogen is even less dense than helium, so the overall density of the balloon-hydrogen system decreases, leading to a greater displacement of air and therefore a stronger upward buoyant force.
Gas that is less dense than air?
Helium is a gas that is less dense than air. This is why a balloon filled with helium rises when released.
Which has the least density between ammonia air oxygen helium and chloride?
Helium has the least density among the substances listed. It is a very light gas and is less dense than air, oxygen, ammonia, and chloride.
What floats on air?
helium balloon because helium is less dense than air
Why does not a balloon full of oxygen float?
A balloon filled with oxygen, like any other gas, will only float if it is less dense than the surrounding air. The weight of the balloon, the gas inside, and the container itself typically make the balloon denser than the air, causing it to sink. A helium-filled balloon floats because helium is much lighter than air.
Why does a heilum balloon float and not a oxyegen balloon?
because helium has less density
Why does an air balloon float?
If you mean hot air balloon then it floats because hot air rises because it is less dense and with enough hot air caught in the balloon it can lift create enough lift to take off into the air. If you mean a helium balloon then it rises because helium in the balloon is less dense then the air around it. Since less dense things rise to the top the balloon will float.
What does the burner do to the density of the air in a hot air balloon?
The intense heat of the burner alters the atomic nucleus of the oxygen atom into a synthetic helium atom causing the balloon to rise. The helium atom is less dense than the original oxygen atom.
What makes the balloon rises?
Helium gas in the balloon causes it to rise as it is much less dense than the surrounding air which has heavier molecules such as Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, etc.
Why does a helium filled balloon rise in relation to its density?
I'm not sure I understand the question but here goes: Helium is lighter [less dense] than air, so a helium filled balloon rises because it floats up on the more dense air.
Are helium balloons more dense than air baloons?
No. At the same pressure, a helium filled balloon will be less dense than an air-filled balloon.
Why does a helium balloon float up when it is released?
A helium balloon floats up when released because helium is less dense than air. The helium inside the balloon is lighter than the surrounding air, causing it to create a buoyant force that pushes the balloon upward.

This is because hydrogen is even less dense than helium, so the overall density of the balloon-hydrogen system decreases, leading to a greater displacement of air and therefore a stronger upward buoyant force.
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.
Why a balloon filled with helium floats in air?
Helium is less dense than air
