A 30cm balloon (fairly standard party balloon) holds about 8 liters of helium at 1 atmosphere and weighs itself around 3 grams (latex) on earth. 8 Liters of Helium would weigh about 1.4 grams at 1g.

So a balloon would weigh in at 3 grams plus 1.4 grams times .16 (the gravity on the surface of the moon) or .7grams.

Of course, the whole experiment would be moot since lacking an atmosphere, your balloon would very instantly expand and burst once you exposed it to hard vacuum. But assuming your party balloon was made of some very SUPER latex, well then... there you go.

Alas, note also that even the super latex wouldn't help to make it fun, since, lacking any atmosphere to be bouyant in, even your very very light balloon would still drop like a rock at a little bit over five feet per second per second just like everything else on that airless world.

Assume you fill a 22.4 liter balloon with helium gas how much would the gas inside weigh?

The weight of the helium gas inside the balloon can be calculated using its molar mass, the Ideal Gas Law, and the given volume. Assuming standard conditions, helium gas has a molar mass of 4 grams per mole. Thus, a 22.4 liter balloon filled with helium gas would weigh approximately 32 grams.

How much helium is in a balloon that contains 0.54 grams of gas?

0.54 grams 1 mol = mass / Mr = mass / 4 (Helium's atomic weight is 4, it is a monoatomic gas) 1 mol = 0.54 / 4 = 0.00135 # of molecules of helium in the balloon = 0.00135 * 6.02 * 10^23


Can you fill a basketball with helium?

Soccer balls do not contain helium. if they did, they would float like a balloon! Actually, that's not true. A soccer ball would NOT float like a balloon--they weigh too much. It would, however, increase the distance ever so slightly over that of a regular air filled soccer ball. Eventually over time, the helium would dissipate, much like a helium balloon that slowly falls to the ground.


How much more do you weigh on the moon in ounces?

You would weigh about 1/6 as much on the moon as you weigh on earth if you were not wearing heavy equipment. I would weigh about 560 ounces on the moon.


Which gas inflates a balloon the longest carbon dioxide or helium and why?

Carbon dioxide will keep a balloon inflated longer than helium will, because its molecules are much larger and therefore less able to escape through the material of which the balloon is made.On the other hand, helium is much lighter so will give a balloon greater lift while it lasts.
