NO! all gas's volume depends on temperature, as the balloon goes up, its volume decreases, resulting in it no longer floating after a certain hight, after that, it will come down and expand again, repeating this process until it losses enough air to land, or another factor interferes with it.

What will a helium filled balloon do in space?

In space, a helium-filled balloon will expand further due to the lack of air pressure outside the balloon. Eventually, the balloon will burst because the pressure from the helium inside will exceed the pressure outside.


Is helium in a balloon an example of matter?

Matter is anything that has volume and occupies space. Helium (in balloon) is a gas and has both these properties. So. it is an example of matter.


Is balloons filled with helium a chemical change?

A balloon is filled with helium. Athough, it can be a chemical and physical change. For example you can take the helium out of the balloon, but you cant put it back in it now that its already in the air.


What A balloon contains helium gas how are the helium atoms distributed in the balloon?

In a balloon filled with helium gas, the helium atoms are evenly distributed throughout the available space. They move freely and randomly due to their kinetic energy, colliding with each other and the balloon's inner walls. This distribution results in a uniform pressure inside the balloon, as the helium atoms exert force equally in all directions. Over time, if the balloon is not tightly sealed, some helium atoms may escape, leading to a decrease in pressure and volume.


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.

Could you use helium to float an item into space?

No, air pressure increases as the balloon goes up, so the balloon will pop and fall to the ground. You can get high up in the atmosphere (but you need a LOT of helium and a balloon that can get VERY big) you will not reach "outer" space beyond the Earth's atmosphere.

Does a balloon filled with heleum depend on gravity?

I am not sure what you mean by 'depend' (please try and make your questions clear) but if you mean does the fact that a helium filled balloon will float (or rise) depend on gravity? Then the answer is Yes. if you were to take a helium filled balloon to the space station and release it inside, it would not rise, it would behave just the same as if you released a bunch of keys.


Why helium leaks out of a balloon?

The latex balloon and to a lesser extent mylar, also, is actually porous and has tiny tiny spaces between the latex molecules. The molecules do not fit together with no space between them, and the helium molecules are so small that they are able to fit between the molecules of the balloon and float out and away.


Why can't a hot air balloon float in outer space?

A hot air balloon requires air to generate lift. In outer space, there is no air or atmosphere, so there is nothing for the hot air balloon to displace to generate lift, causing it to be unable to float.


Why will a helium balloon float in the air when a golf ball won't?

Both a helium balloon and a golf ball take up space that air would otherwise occupy if they were not there. The weight of a helium balloon is much less than the weight of the air that would otherwise fill its space, so the surrounding air holds it up. This is called buoyancy and is also the reason that a boat made of steel will float on water. On the other hand, the weight of a golf ball is much more than the weight of the air that would otherwise fill its space, so the surrounding air is unable to hold it up and it stays on the ground. In other words it is too heavy to float in the air.


Will a balloon pop in space?

That depends on how much air is in the balloon and how high the temperature gets. As the sun shines, it heats the air in the balloon. This causes the air to expand. This air pushes against the insides of the ballon making it swell up and stretch. If there is enough air in the balloon and the temperature increases to a high enough level, then the air pressure can get to high, it will cause the balloons skin to stretch to far and the balloon can pop.


What happens when a balloon filled with helium goes into space?

In space, the helium inside the balloon will expand due to the absence of atmospheric pressure. Eventually, the balloon will burst when the pressure inside it becomes greater than the tensile strength of the balloon material.

How little gravity would it take until you floated up and away like a helium balloon?

No matter how little gravity, as long as it is still positive, you would not float. For that, you would have to have less density than the air. With zero gravity, both we and the air would float away into space.
