Room temperature air has a density of 1.2 g/cm3. A balloon filled with hydrogen has a density of 0.082 g/cm3, and a balloon filled with carbon dioxide has a density of 1.9 g/cm3. Predict what would happen if both balloons were dropped.

Step-by-step explanation:

If both the balloons were dropped so the balloon filled with hydrogen had will rise up in the air because the density of hydrogen is less as compared to the density of air and the balloon filled with carbon dioxide will start to go down/sink, as the density of carbon dioxide is greater than air.
