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

The balloon with helium.


Something you can fill a balloon with?

Balloons are filled with gas (such as helium), or a mixture of gasses (such as air) or hot gasses (such as hot air).Helium.


Why do balloons float when you put helium in them?

The helium weighs less than air- so when the balloon is filled, it displaces the heavier air, and floats. Just as a bit of wood weighs less than water, and floats on water. In a vacuum, a helium filled balloon would not float (but it may pop)


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.


Does helium contract in cold weather and cause a helium balloon to sink and if warmed will it rise again?

Helium will contract in cold weather, but that may not cause a balloon filled with it to sink since the air will also contract - and by about the same amount - so the relative densities of the helium and the surrounding are would remain about the same and the buoyancy of a helium filled balloon would remain


Would an hydrogen balloon float better than a helium one?

Hydrogen is lighter than helium. So hydrogen balloon will float better than helium.


Why does a helium balloon lower after a while?

That would happen after it loses a certain amount of helium.


What would happen to a balloon full of air if you moved it from above a water surface to ten feet below the water surface?

The balloon would shrink in size as the pressure increases with depth, causing the air inside to compress. If the balloon were to reach a depth of ten feet below the water surface, it would likely shrink significantly due to the increased pressure underwater.


Would a balloon float longer if it had 100 percent helium or half helium and half oxygen?

100% helium


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


What gas does make a balloon float?

Helium gas is commonly used to make balloons float. Helium is lighter than air, so filling a balloon with helium makes it buoyant and able to float.


When would less helium be needed to fill a balloon?

The lower the atmospheric pressure, the less helium is needed.
