From congruent starting properties the helium balloon would pop first as Helium is closer to being an ideal gas than air is. Air has adhesive properties that keep it from expanding as quickly as Helium.
The ideal gas law is PV=nRT
where
P=pressure
V=Volume
n=moles of gas present
T=temperature in degrees Kelvin
R=is the Gas constant that keeps all the units straight.
The VanderWaals gas equation is an attempt to more perfectly illustrate the behaviors of real gases.
P=(RT)/(V-b) -a/V2
here, in simple terms, (the exact definitions are much more complicated)
b=the actual volume taken up by the atoms/molecules of the gases
a=the energy needed to separate the gas atoms/molecules from each other
Helium has the lowest values of b and a for any gas.
using the values of b and a for helium and then the b and a values for air and then decreasing the value of the Volume and you will see that the pressure increases more quickly for Helium.
The (V-b) term produces differences that are virtually the same for different values of b
(Va1 -ba)-(Va2-ba) = dVa (Vb1-bb)-(Vb2-bb)=dVb
If the change in volume for both gas a and b then this term has little to no effect in our discussion of pressure.
for the term -a/V2 a similar change in volume for two different gases will produce differences in pressure by factors of the values of a.
(aa/V12)-(aa/V22)= aa/dV2 (ab/V12)-(ab/V22)= ab/dV2
if dV is the same for both then the (d)pressures differ by aa-ab. Note that this term is a negative term. That means that it decreases the pressure. So any gas with the higher value (of a) will produce a lower gas pressure on decreasing volume.

What state of matter is a balloon?
Gas... bubbles are formed when water (or another liquid substance) are heated up and then turned to gas. When water on a fire heats up at the bottom of a container that water turns to gas before the water at the top. Since gas is lighter than water it rises in the form of a bubble and pops at the surface. So bubbles are in the state of gas, surrounded or covered by a 'membrane' (a thin cover) of liquid
What happens if you put too many air particles into a balloon?
I am assuming that a rubber balloon is meant here not a hot air balloon! Squeezing a balloon will give rise to a decrease in volume and a subsequent increase in internal pressure which may not be too large as the balloon expands in another part to compensate. Using the kinetic theory of gases (which shouldn't strictly be applied to this case but provides insights) the average energy of the particles inside depends on the temperature- the particles don't go any faster they just hit the inside of the balloon more often because of the decrease in volume.
If a weather balloon pops do the instruments fall to the ground?
Yes, if a weather balloon pops, the instruments attached to it will fall to the ground. These instruments are usually designed to withstand the impact of landing and are typically equipped with parachutes to slow their descent.
Why would a balloon filled with hydrogen on the surface pop 1km in the atmosphere?
As the balloon rises in the atmosphere, the air pressure decreases while the internal pressure of the hydrogen-filled balloon remains constant. This causes the pressure difference to increase, putting more stress on the balloon's material until it eventually pops due to the increased pressure difference.
Is burning a balloon a physical or chemical change?
When thinking of a balloon, it's best to think of two different chemical compounds that do not mix, the balloon itself and air. What makes the balloon pop is that the pressure of the air exceeds the force of the chemical bonds of the balloon. In order for a chemical reaction to take place, you need to start off with one set of chemicals that become a new set of chemicals.However, when a balloon pops, no new chemicals are created. All that happens is that the electron bonds of the compound we know of as the balloon break.
How much water can you fill a water balloon before it pops?
The amount of water that a water balloon can hold before it pops depends on the size and quality of the balloon. Overfilling a water balloon can make it more likely to burst. It is best to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for filling the balloon.
How far can a water balloon be tossed to someone before it pops?
How far can a water ballon be tossed to someone before it pops?
What happens when a balloon filled with water is pricked with a pin?
The balloon pops and the water falls out and splashes onto the floor.
What happened if you prick the balloons?
The balloon pops and the water falls out and splashes onto the floor.
What happens to the particles of a balloon when its in a refrigerator?
it pops and goes every where dont try it.
What happens as the temperature of a gas in a balloon increase?
The balloon expands or even pops. Because when a gas gains heat energy the particles in it move faster and further apart creating a greater force on the inside of the balloon until the balloon cannot contain that force.
What sound does a balloon make when it pops?
pop!
What property of air makes a balloon pop?
none, when the balloon stretches out too far, it bursts and the air rishes out.
What happens to a balloon when it pops?
When a balloon pops, the elastic material of the balloon stretches beyond its limit, causing the balloon to burst open. The sudden release of air inside the balloon creates a loud popping sound and the balloon ends up in smaller pieces.
What pops like a balloon?
A balloon! When a balloon is filled with air or gas and becomes overinflated, it can pop suddenly.
How far can you throw a water balloon before it pops?
The distance a water balloon can be thrown before popping depends on various factors including the size of the balloon, the force of the throw, the height of the throw, and the thickness of the balloon's skin. In general, a water balloon can typically be thrown up to 20-30 feet before popping.
What happens if you put a balloon in hot air?
it pops
