Best Answer

The first balloon was invented by Brazilian priest Bartolomeu de Gusmão , and the first public exhibition was to the Portuguese Court on August 8 , 1709 , in the hall of the Casa da India in Lisbon

Helium however was invented by Sir Norman Lockyer. He taught at the Royal College of Science and specialised in studying the sun. His investigations into sun spots resulted in his discovery of the element that he named "helium'.

Which of a hydrogen filled balloon air filled balloon and a carbon dioxide filled balloon will deflate the fastest and which is the slowest and explain your answer?

A hydrogen balloon will deflate the fastest because molecules of hydrogen are the smallest and thus will more easily slip through the latex of the balloon. The carbon dioxide-filled balloon will deflate the slowest because these molecules are the biggest, and thus will have more trouble escaping the tiny pores in the balloon.

Can a hot air balloon be powered by hydrogen?

If the balloon were lofted by hydrogen, it would not be a "hot air" balloon, as no heat would be needed. Indeed, to get even a spark near the hydrogen would be for the balloon to go up in a huge fireball. Hydrogen was abandoned as a lift gas for lighter -than-air craft in the 1930's, exactly for that reason.
