Helium moves approximately three times faster than argon at the same temperature and pressure due to its lower molecular weight. This faster movement leads to helium having higher diffusion and thermal conductivity compared to argon.

How much faster does helium diffuse than oxygen?

Not much faster, but it does diffuse faster than helium because it is lighter.


Is helium more abundant than argon?

Argon, Ar. 0.93. Carbon dioxide, CO2. 0.033. Neon, Ne. 0.0018. Helium, He. 0.00052. Methane ... much higher than it is in air. ... Argon is the most abundant and most used of the noble gases.


Why does sound travel faster in helium than in air?

Sound travels faster in helium than in air because helium is much lighter than air, which causes sound waves to travel more easily and quickly through it. The lower density of helium allows sound waves to move faster and with less resistance compared to air.


Why is Argon used in insulating windows instead of Helium?

Argon is used in insulating windows because it is more cost-effective, readily available, and provides better insulation properties than helium. While helium has better thermal conductivity, it is more expensive and harder to contain than argon.


What happens when heat gets to argon?

When heat is applied to argon, the kinetic energy of the gas particles increases causing them to move faster and spread out further apart. Argon remains a gas at room temperature and pressure, so it will not undergo a phase change with moderate heating.


Do opossums move faster than raccoons?

No, raccoons can run much faster.


Is argon heavier than air?

argon is a component of "air" and as such air cannot be lighter than air, only more or less dense, however, judging from atomic masses, yes argon is heavier than nitrogen, oxygen, helium, and hydrogen, but depending on pollutants and other gases (CFC's, HCFC's, etc.) the compound that is air can vary slightly in mass.


Why was mendeleev unable to inculde the elements of helium and neon or argon in his tabble?

Mendeleev was unable to include helium, neon, and argon in his table because they were discovered after his periodic table was published in 1869. These noble gases were isolated much later in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and did not fit into Mendeleev's original classification of elements based on their properties.


Is helium used for anything?

Yes, helium is used widely in various applications such as party balloons, airships, as a coolant in nuclear reactors and MRI machines, and in cryogenics for preserving biological samples. However, there is a concern over helium scarcity as it is a non-renewable resource.


Can you fill balloons with argon gas?

Yes, it is possible to fill balloons with argon gas. Argon is commonly used in balloons that require a more stable and non-flammable filling gas, such as for special events and experiments. However, argon is more expensive than other gases like helium, so it is not as commonly used for everyday balloons.


How does helium make your voice sound weird?

Helium is 6 times less dense than air which means that it travels through your lungs much faster which makes your voice and your vocal chords sound much higher.
