Why do helium-filled balloons float in air?

2 answers:

8 0

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.

Which type of equilibrium exists in a sealed flask containing Br2(ℓ) and Br2(g) at 298 K and 1.0 atm?(1) static phase equilibriu

marishachu [46]

The correct answer is 3.

A dynamic phase equilibrium is when a reversible reaction no longer changes its ratio of reactants to products. However, substances continue to move between the chemicals at an equal rate, which means the net change is 0. This is known as a steady state.

What is the appropriate chemical formula for Iron(III) Sulfate? Sulfate is SO_4^2 Fe3SO4 O a . Fe2(SO4)3 O b. O c. Fe2SO4 O d. F

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: The chemical formula of Iron (III) sulfate is $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$

Explanation:

Iron is the 26th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]3d^64s^2$ .

To form $Fe^{3+}$ ion, this element will loose 3 electrons.

Sulfate ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $SO_4^{2-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for Iron (III) sulfate is $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$
