When filled, party balloons generally have a diameter of 10 to 12 inches. The volume of each size is as follows:
10 inch balloon = 523 cubic inches (rounded to the nearest whole number)
12 inch balloon = 904 cubic inches (rounded to the nearest whole number) 523 cubic inches = 0.30 cubic feet (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
904 cubic inches = 0.52 cubic feet (rounded to the nearest hundredth) Therefore, a 9 cubic foot tank would fill between 17 and 30 balloons of this size.

A 135 lb helium tank can fill approximately 100-150 standard 18-inch mylar balloons, depending on the size of the balloons and the amount of helium needed to inflate each one. It's always best to check with the manufacturer or vendor for specific guidelines.
I am not sure which tank size would weigh 135lbs, but a k tank should weigh around that much. A k tank holds 194 cf of helium and will fill about 440 18" mylar balloons or about 48 36" balloons.
By using Boyle's law, you have a total of 1920 L of helium gas at 1atm. If you have 12L of Helium already all you do is subtract 12L from 1920, which gives you 1908L of Helium, and divide 3L from 1908, which gives you 636 balloons. Hope this helps!
Typically, one small helium tank is enough to fill a 6' mylar balloon. These tanks come in different sizes, so the exact number needed may vary.
The number of helium balloons needed to lift a person will depend on the person's weight. On average, it takes about 3-5 large helium balloons to lift 1 pound. For example, to lift a 150-pound person, you would need roughly 450-750 balloons. It is important to consider factors like air currents and ceiling height when attempting to lift objects with helium balloons indoors.
depends on how large the balloon is! ;D
It would take approximately 480 helium balloons to lift a 20-pound frozen turkey. Helium can lift about 0.04 lbs per balloon, so 20 lbs divided by 0.04 lbs per balloon equals 500 balloons.
You breathe helium out pretty quickly when you inhale it. In order for the effect to last the rest of your life, you'd need to breathe enough helium to be able to breathe it out for the rest of your life. Unless "the rest of your life" is measured in seconds (a minute or two at the most), this is impossible. If you asphyxiate yourself with helium, your voice will sound the same way forever (i.e. silent, since you'll be dead). I'm not certain how many balloons that would take, precisely, since it depends on the volume of the balloons.
