What else can I help you with?
Is oxygen lighter than helium?
no. If it was, we would have oxygen balloons instead of helium balloons.
This gas can be used to fill party balloons?
Helium gas is commonly used to fill party balloons because it is lighter than air, making the balloons float.
Is inhaling helium out of 2 balloons ok?
Inhaling helium from balloons can be dangerous as it can displace oxygen in your lungs, leading to oxygen deprivation which can be harmful or even life-threatening. It can also cause dizziness, lightheadedness, and in extreme cases, unconsciousness or asphyxiation. It is not recommended to inhale helium from balloons.
What chemicals do balloons contain?
Balloons are usually made of latex, a type of rubber, or plastic such as mylar. Latex balloons contain chemicals like diisopropyl adipate and 12-hydroxystearic acid as additives. Mylar balloons are made of a polyester film coated with a metallic material like aluminum.
Explain why helium-filled Mylar-foil balloons can float freely for several weeks but latex balloons for less than 24-hours?
Helium is not only very light, it is also monatomic, it's particles are all made up of a single atom. Air molecules, oxygen, and nitrogen mainly are larger and hevier and diffuse through much more slowly.
Is oxygen lighter than helium?
no. If it was, we would have oxygen balloons instead of helium balloons.

Is balloons filled with hydrogen and oxygen?
If I am right in interpreting the question as "Are balloons normally filled with hydrogen and oxygen?", then the answer would be no. Although they can be, as both substances are gases, the majority of balloon are filled with air, a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases. If you mean the balloons that float, they are filled with helium
Is the oxygen sufficient for burning of hydrogen on the sun?
No. The hydrogen on the Sun does not burn; it fuses to make helium instead.
Can hydrogen and oxygen make helium?
Hydrogen an react with oxygen to form water and not helium
Why is helium used for balloons?
Because it's a lighter-than-air gas. Hydrogen could also be used, but hydrogen is extremely flammable, as the makers of the Hindenburg found out, whereas Helium does not react with oxygen and therefore will not burn.

Is helium oxygen?
No. Helium and oxygen are two different elements.
Name something you can put in balloons?
Carbon Dioxide Hydrogen Oxygen My Head Everything
Why is hydrogen no longer used in air balloons?
For small balloons like individuals often have for recreational use, hot air is much easier to control than either hydrogen or helium.For the occasional blimp, or long distance balloon trip, Helium, while somewhat heavier than Hydrogen, has proven to be far safer.The Hindenburg has proven the inherent dangers of using Hydrogen Gas in blimps. While, in theory, pure hydrogen is not explosive without the presence of oxygen, any rupture in the thin material separating hydrogen from the air atmosphere can prove to be deadly.
What element is explosive in balloons?
Hydrogen is the element commonly used in balloons that can be explosive when mixed with oxygen in the presence of a spark or flame.
