A 30cm balloon (fairly standard party balloon) holds about 8 liters of helium at 1 atmosphere and weighs itself around 3 grams (latex) on earth. 8 Liters of Helium would weigh about 1.4 grams at 1g.

So a balloon would weigh in at 3 grams plus 1.4 grams times .16 (the gravity on the surface of the moon) or .7grams.

Of course, the whole experiment would be moot since lacking an atmosphere, your balloon would very instantly expand and burst once you exposed it to hard vacuum. But assuming your party balloon was made of some very SUPER latex, well then... there you go.

Alas, note also that even the super latex wouldn't help to make it fun, since, lacking any atmosphere to be bouyant in, even your very very light balloon would still drop like a rock at a little bit over five feet per second per second just like everything else on that airless world.

A helium balloon would weigh less on the moon compared to Earth due to the moon's lower gravitational pull. The weight of a helium balloon on the moon would depend on the size and weight of the balloon itself, as well as the strength of the moon's gravitational force.

No, the pressure from the atmosphere would pop it before long.

How much do helium balloons carry?

How much a helium balloon carries depends on the size of the balloon.


How much does a small helium balloon weigh?

* Calculate the volume of the ballon * Calculate the weight of the helium: G= V x 0,1786 (the helium density in g/L) * Add the weight of the balloon material (rubber, plastic, etc.)


How much can a helium balloon lift?

The lifting power of a helium balloon depends on its size and the amount of helium inside. On average, a standard 12-inch helium balloon can lift about 14 grams.


Assume you fill a 22.4 liter balloon with helium gas how much would the gas inside weigh?

The weight of the helium gas inside the balloon can be calculated using its molar mass, the Ideal Gas Law, and the given volume. Assuming standard conditions, helium gas has a molar mass of 4 grams per mole. Thus, a 22.4 liter balloon filled with helium gas would weigh approximately 32 grams.

How much helium is in a balloon that contains 0.54 grams of gas?

The amount of helium in the balloon would depend on the density of helium at the given conditions and volume of the balloon. To calculate the volume of helium, you would need to know the pressure and temperature of the gas. Without that information, it is not possible to determine the exact amount of helium in the balloon.


Can you fill a basketball with helium?

Yes, you can fill a basketball with helium to make it float. However, the basketball would not bounce normally because helium is lighter than air and reduces the ball's weight. Additionally, the helium would eventually leak out due to the porous nature of the basketball material.


How much more do you weigh on the moon in ounces?

You would weigh about 1/6 as much on the moon as you weigh on earth if you were not wearing heavy equipment. I would weigh about 560 ounces on the moon.


Which gas inflates a balloon the longest carbon dioxide or helium and why?

Helium inflates a balloon the longest compared to carbon dioxide because helium is lighter than air, resulting in less escape through diffusion over time. Additionally, helium has smaller molecules than carbon dioxide, reducing the rate of molecules escaping through the rubber balloon material.
