Helium is lighter than air from the lungs.

Explanation:

A balloon filled with the air from lungs will sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats because helium is lighter than air.

Air is a mixture of many gases.

The air from the lungs is predominantly made up of carbon dioxide and water vapor.

  • Gram per mole of carbon dioxide is 44. Water vapor is 18.
  • Compared to helium which is 4, we see that the gas is lighter.
  • Since the gas is lighter, it will float in air.
  • The main component of air around us is nitrogen gas with a gram per mole of 28.
  • A balloon filled with more of air from the lungs weigh more than that will filled air around and even far more than helium gas.
  • This will cause a helium filled balloon to float.

The density of lead is 11.3 g/cm3. what mass of lead is required to make a 1.00 cm3 fishing sinker?
Elza [17]

The mass of lead required to make a 1.00 cm3 fishing sinker is 11.3g.

What is mass?

Mass is a metric used in physics to express inertia, a fundamental characteristic of all matter. A mass of matter's resistance to altering its direction or speed in response to the application of a force is what it essentially is. The change that an applied force produces is smaller the more mass a body has.

Given :

Density of lead = 11.3 g/cm3

Volume of  sinker  =  1.00 cm3

One of a substance's attributes is density, which is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Mathematically:

Density : Mass / volume

therefore after putting the values,

mass= 11.3g
