Chapter 5, Problem 23QAP

Helium-filled balloons rise in the air because the density of helium is less than the density of air.

(a) If air has an average molar mass of 29.0 g/mol, what is the density of air at 25°C and 770 mm Hg?

(b) What is the density of helium at the same temperature and pressure?

(c) Would a balloon filled with carbon dioxide at the same temperature and pressure rise?
