An empty balloon that weighs 0.722 g is filled with helium at normal atmospheric pressure (101.3 kPa) at room temperature (20.0°C) and reaches a volume of 4.22 dm3. a) How much does the balloon weigh when filled with helium? b) A balloon that weighs less than the corresponding volume of the ambient air will, according to Archimede's principle, float if you release it, while one that weighs more will fall to the ground. How much would the corresponding volume of air weigh? Assume that air molecules have a molecular weight of 28.8 g/mol. c) Will this balloon float when you release it?

Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight. This also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone in air and in water and finds its mass is 43.0 g and its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (the bone is watertight). What mass of water is displaced?
