Why do helium-filled balloons float in air?

A helium balloon displaces the amount of air. The weight of the helium in the balloon + the balloon fabric = lighter than the air that it displaces. Helium is lighter than air, so therefore, if it's in a balloon, the balloon will float.

The helium balloon displaces an amount of air. As long as the weight of the helium plus the balloon fabric is lighter than the air it displaces, the balloon will float in the air. It turns out helium is a lot lighter than air.

joja [24]
From the periodic table:
molar mass of carbon = 12 gm
molar mass of hydrogen = 1 gm
molar mass of oxygen = 16 gm

molar mass of <span>acetylsalicylic acid = 9(12) + 8(1) + 4(16) = 180 gm

Number of moles = mass / molar mass = 0.5 / 180 = 2.778 x 10^-3 moles

To get the number of molecules, we multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number as follows:
number of molecules = </span>2.778x10^-3x6.02x10^23 =1.672 x 10^21 molecules

A block of metal has a volume of 14.0in3 and weighs 5.16 lb .
riadik2000 [5.3K]

The density of metal block in grams per cubic centimeter is 10.70 g/cm³.

Given,

Mass of metal block = 5.16 lb  

1 lb = 453.592 g

5.26 lb = 2340.536 g

The volume of metal block = 14 in 3

1 in = 2.5 cm

1 in 3 = 15.625 cm³

14 in 3 = 218.75 cm³

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance. Or, it is the ratio of mass to the volume of the substance.

As we know,

Density = mass/volume

Or, density = 2340.536 / 218.75

Or, density = 10.70 g/cm³

Therefore, the density of the metal block is 10.70 g/cm³.
