Why do helium-filled balloons float in air?

Chemistry

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.

A flask contains 1/3 mole of h2 and 2/3 mol of he. Compare the force on the wall per impact of h2 relative to that for he.
densk [106]

The force on the wall is actually the pressure exerted by gas molecules

Higher the pressure more the force exerted on the walls of container

The pressure depends upon the number of molecules of a gas

In a mixture of gas the pressure depends upon the mole fraction of the gas

As given the mole fraction of He is more than that of H2 therefore He will exert more pressure on the wall

The ratio of impact will be

H2 / He = 2/3 / 1/3 = 2: 1

What is different between an ionic bond and a covalent bond?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionic bonds result from transfer of electrons, whereas covalent bonds are formed by sharing. 2. Ionic bonds are electrostatic in nature, resulting from that attraction of positive and negative ions that result from the electron transfer process; charge separation between covalently bonded atoms is less extreme.
