Helium has a mass less than that of carbon dioxide.so it will help the ship to float over the water.more over it will not react with any object as it is a noble gas.

helium, mostly


What lasts longer helium filled balloons or carbon dioxide filled balloons?

Helium-filled balloons typically last longer than carbon dioxide-filled balloons. Helium is a lighter gas that causes balloons to float higher and stay inflated longer due to its lower density. In contrast, carbon dioxide is heavier and escapes balloons more quickly, leading to a shorter lifespan.


What shape are most airships?

Airships are usually the shape of a oval. They look like blimps. Airships are usually filled with helium to keep them afloat.


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


Does helium produce carbon dioxide?

No, helium does not produce carbon dioxide. Helium is an inert gas and does not react chemically with other substances to produce carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is produced from the combustion of carbon-containing compounds.


Does helium have carbon dioxide in it?

Helium does not combine with other elements and pure helium will not have carbon dioxide in it.


Is carbon dioxide lighter than helium?

No, carbon dioxide is heavier than helium. Carbon dioxide has a molecular weight of about 44 g/mol, while helium has a molecular weight of 4 g/mol. This means that helium is lighter than carbon dioxide and will rise above it in the presence of air.

Why is helium used in airships rather than oxygen?

Helium is a lighter gas than oxygen, ever seen balloons filled with helium? They rise upwards with heat due to a lesser amount of particles. If we used oxygen, the airships wouldn't get off the ground!


Which is a compound oxygen helium carbon dioxide nitrogen?
