Help with chem question please
On a cool day at 21 °C on the beach Isabella wants to
propose to her boyfriend, she has a sign that reads, “Will
you marry me?". The sign weighs 21.2 lbs. To carry the
sign into the air Isabella fills 2 balloons with Helium gas.
How many liters of helium must Isabella fill each balloon
with? (453.6 g = 1 lb)
The buoyancy of He is the difference between the density
of helium and the density of air (whose weighted average
molar mass can be calculated from the gasses that make it
up and their % (N₂ = 78%, O₂ = 21%, Ar = 1%). HINT:
calculate the mass in grams Helium can lift.

PS. Isabella realized that her non-science major
boyfriend was not smart enough for her and dumped
him!
