How do you make your voice high pitched with helium balloons?
you breath in the helium (you need to breath it in with out letting it out) and then talk.
What are 2 common uses of helium?
Deep sea divers breath helium and oxygen, helium is also used to inflate party balloons and airship blimps.
Does your voice restore after you exhale helium from a balloon?
yes,after you breath oxygen
What will happen if you breathe in heliuim?
One of the effects of a small amount of helium in the breath is to change the voice similar to a cartoon Donald Duck sound. Professional deep sea divers will breath a mixture of Oxygen and Helium this helps preventdecompression sickness known as the Bends. If you breath pure helium you would asphyxiate. (starve the brain of Oxygen and die)
What happens if you inhale oxygen then enter a room filled with helium and utter a sentence exhaling co2 into the helium?
Nothing remotely exciting. The pitch of your voice will be normal because there is no helium passing your vocal cords. CO2 is exhaled in every breath and will be mixed with the helium as it would be in other atmospheres. Only if you remain in the room and continue to breath the helium will there be any ill effects. Helium isn't poisonous but the lack of oxygen would cause asphyxiation and eventually death.
What are some cures for your throat if you have inhailed helium?
Sorry, there are no cures, as helium is a noble gas. It doesn't combine with anything in your body. So just relax and take a breath of air.
What element is used in balloons?
Helium is used for the ones that rise. Compressed air can be used or exhaled breath.
Why does inhaling helium increase voice pitch?
Because Helium is lighter than air so when you breath it it makes your vocal chords move faster giving you an increased voice pitch
Name something you filla balloon with?
I personally fill a balloon with my breath, the balloons I buy are already filled with helium.
How long can a human stay on Neptune?
Not very long. Neptune is made of Hydrogen and helium. So you can't breath.
Does helium really make your voice sound funny?
Yes, this is because helium is less dense than the oxygen that we breath. When the helium enters your lungs, it moves faster than the oxygen you are used to breathing and moves your vocal cords more quickly which gives you the higher pitched sound. However it is not safe to breath large quantities at a time because our bodies do not run on helium. Yes, Helium does affect the pitch of the voice. However, the lungs are not developed to breathe noble gases, and too high a percentage of helium and not enough oxygen can cause tension neumothorax. -TEN TIBIAS
What are the things that compose the atmosphere?
Things that composes the atmosphere are the nitrogen is about 78%and the helium which is 56% and the carbon dioxide we breath that is 28%
