I would say an air filled balloon if you fill it with just plain air. I am basing this on the principle of osmosis and diffusion. A substance such as a gas will travel from an area of increased concentration, such as a balloon filled with helium, to an area od decreased concentration, such as the room the balloon is in. If you fill the balloon with air identicle to that in the surrounding room it negates diffusion.

Why does a CO2 filled balloon deflate quicker than a helium filled balloon given that helium atoms are smaller and monatomic?

Well...it's because they're not the same balloons. There is a product out there called Super Hi-Float. You coat the inside of a balloon destined to be filled with helium with it, and it helps seal the pores of the latex hence holding the helium in longer. You probably wouldn't do this with a balloon you're going to fill with CO2.


Why does a helium filled balloon float up when it is released?

The gas helium is less dense than the nitrogen-oxygen mix of atmospheric air. So a balloon filled to the same pressure (or even higher) will have a lower density than the air around it, which will displace it (flow under it), forcing it upward. The balloon will rise until the combined weight of the helium and the balloon are the same average weight (density) as the surrounding air. Long before it reaches that altitude, a normal balloon will begin to expand and will usually pop (at an altitude of a few hundred to a few thousand feet).Helium molecules are lighter than most air molecules in the atmosphere (mostly nitrogen and oxygen) therefore they are prone to rise while heavier molecules move downward.


When you put a balloon in a cold room then in a worm room does its density change?

No. The volume of the helium will change as it expands the balloon due to the increase in temperature. The density of an element never changes. The reason for that is because density is just a fancy way of saying 'The atoms are this far apart' in the equation mass/volume = density.


Is a balloon more dense or less dense than the surrounding air?

Because that's what density does. Whenever an object is immersed in a medium with higher density than the object, the object will try to rise to apoint where its buoyancy(lifting force) equals the pull of gravity.


Will a balloon with argon gas sink faster then a balloon with krypton gas?

The balloon with krypton gas has a higher density than the balloon with argon gas.

Why is a balloon heavier with normal air?

A balloon filled with normal air is heavier because the air inside has more mass compared to helium. The density of normal air is higher than helium, so the balloon filled with normal air will weigh more.


What is the relationship between helium pressure and its effects on gas-filled balloons?

The relationship between helium pressure and its effects on gas-filled balloons is that as the pressure of helium inside the balloon increases, the balloon expands and rises. This is because the higher pressure of helium pushes against the walls of the balloon, causing it to inflate and float.


What will happen when you release a balloon filled with helium in the air?

When you release a balloon filled with helium into the air, it will rise due to the helium being less dense than the surrounding air. As it ascends higher, the air pressure decreases and the balloon expands. Eventually, the helium will escape from the balloon and it will likely deflate and fall back to the ground.


What happens to the atmospheric pressure acting on the balloon as the balloon rises?

due to pressure inside the balloon, will be higher because the balloon will try to get smaller and thus the balloon will ascent due to the low density of the helium inside the balloon.


Which balloon would fly higher the one with helium or the one with air?

The balloon with helium.


What usually happen to a toy hellium filled balloon that rises high into the atmosphere?

It will usually burst. As it gets higher, outside air pressure is less, helium in balloon expands until balloon pops.

What happens to the pressure of the air outside of the balloon as it goes higher?

The pressure of the air outside the balloon decreases as it goes higher in altitude because the air becomes less dense at higher altitudes. This decrease in pressure causes the balloon to expand as the air inside the balloon pushes outward.

What gas makes balloon drop not float?

Helium is the gas commonly used to fill balloons to make them float. If a balloon is filled with a gas heavier than air, such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen, it will cause the balloon to drop instead of float.

What happens to balloons when they are let go?

well it depends what type of balloon it is if it is filled with helium it will float higher and higher until it will pop under the air pressure. but if it a ballon filled with normal air it will just float back down or get blown away if there is wind
