A balloon filled with air is released in a room filled with carbon dioxide will the balloon float to the ceiling or sink to the floor?

The density of a gas depends on its molar mass. Under the same conditions, gases with molar masses less than air will float, while those with molar masses greater than the molar mass of air will sink in air. Air has the equivalent of a molar mass of 29 g/mole. How do you think that value was obtained?

Why wouldn't yeast and water inflate a balloon unless you add sugar?
The sugar is needed as food for the yeast. The yeast gives off carbon dioxide as it digests the sugar. The carbon dioxide could be used to inflate the balloon. Without the sugar, the yeast remains dormant and does not give off carbon dioxide.
Which of the what is are removed by expiration Carbon dioxide vapor Oxygen Carbon dioxide and water vapor?
By expiration carbon dioxide is released.
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.
A balloon is filled with pure carbon dioxide. Which term or terms could be used to describe the contents of this balloon?
Its a compound and a pure chemical substance
What products are formed when a hydrocarbon combust?
The correct answer is: Carbon dioxide and water.
Is Carbon dioxide filled with balloon a chemical change?
No. helium is released in outer air but does not lose or change its chemical formula
What is a carbon dioxide balloon?
A balloon with CO2 instead of helium or hydrogen
Why does'nt a balloon with carbon dioxide float and a balloon with helium does?
Because, carbon dioxide is heavier than air whereas helium is lighter than air.
What air is used to blow a balloon with the mouth?
Carbon dioxide, the air we have in us that we breath out. Carbon dioxide doesn't make the balloon float in the air, while Helium does.
Is air inside a balloon a element?
In a helium balloon- one that floats and rises to the ceiling it is elemental helium that is used to inflate the balloon. If you just blow into a balloon to inflate it then it is air inside the balloon which is a mixture of gases, principally nitrogen and oxygen (both elements). There are also other gases that are chemical compounds such as carbon dioxide.
What gas is released by the candle to make fixed air?
carbon dioxide :p
What is the gas in a balloon that a human blows up?
well since we breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, it would have to be carbon Dioxide

What happens when you mix baking soda and vinegar in a balloon?
The balloon inflates with carbon dioxide because mixing baking soda and vinegar causes a chemical reaction between the acetic acid in vinegar and sodium bicarbonate in baking soda. Once the reaction completes its first step, the product is carbonic acid that decomposes into carbon dioxide and water. When the entire reaction is complete sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide remain. The carbon dioxide is the gas that fills the balloon.
What will happen to a tied balloon that has dry ice inside it when it is placed in room temperature water?
The balloon should expand because the frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) will sublime into carbon dioxide gas when placed into the room temperature water. The gas will expand, causing the balloon to expand.
