Appended is a list of gases with their specific gravities. The specific gravity of a gas is a comparison of its density with that of air at the same temperature and pressure. Gases with a Specific Gravity (SG) less than1 are lighter than air.

What are the six gases than are less dense than air?

Neon, ammonia, methane, hydrogen, helium and water vapour are the best lifting gases and are all less denser than air.


Greenhouse gases are obviously lighter than air How then are they measured by weight How does one weigh something that is lighter than air?

Greenhouse gasses are NOT "obviously lighter than air"; carbon dioxide is significantly heavier than air.One way to weigh something that's lighter than air is to weigh it in a vacuum.


Are noble gases less dense than air?

Helium and neon are less dense than air; argon, krypton, xenon and radon are denser than air.


Would a bottle of helium gas weigh more or less than an identical bottle filled with air at the same pressure?

The bottle of helium gas would weigh less than the identical bottle filled with air at the same pressure. Helium is less dense than air, so a bottle filled with helium weighs less due to the difference in density of the two gases.


What gases lift a balloon into the air?

Anything less dense than air (hydrogen, helium, hot air).


Does a balloon without air weigh the same filled with air?

No, a balloon without air would weigh less than a balloon filled with air. The weight of an object is determined by the mass of the object and without the air filling the balloon, there is less mass present, therefore less weight.


Does an empty balloon weigh less than a balloon full of air?

Yes, an empty balloon weighs less than a balloon filled with air because the air adds to the overall weight of the balloon.


Which gases weigh more than air Im aware that helium qualifies but also you are aware that you have few known sources of this gas IE What other gasses are a viable choice for diving?

- Helium is less dense than air. - For diving, as diluents for oxygen nitrogen and helium are used.


Why fish weigh less in water than in air?

Fish weigh less in water because of buoyancy, which is the upward force exerted by a fluid that counteracts the weight of the object immersed in it. The water exerts an upward force on the fish that partially cancels out the downward force of gravity, making the fish weigh less in water than in air.


Why does warm air weigh less than cool air?

Cold air falls and warm air rises. Warmer air rises above cooler air because it is less dense. The particles vibrate and move further apart so the molecules that compose the air are more spread out, causing the warm air mass to weigh less than the cool air.ass


Why you weigh more in the air than in the water?

You would weigh more in the air than in the water due to the buoyant force acting against your weight in the water. In water, your body experiences an upward force opposing gravity, causing you to feel lighter. This effect makes you weigh less in water compared to being in the air.


If you trap air in a balloon and put it into warm air will it float?

If the air in the balloon is cooler than the air around it, it will sink. Hot air balloons go up because they weigh less than the air around them.
