| Weight difference: 3g | |
| Aprox balloon weight: 1g | |
| Total lift = 3g + 1g = 4g | |
| Weight of air at STP: 1.20g/L | |
| Weight of He at STP: 0.18g/L | |
| He lift at STP = 1.2g/L - 0.18g/L = 1.02g/L | |
| Volume of He = 4g / 1.02g/L = 4L | |
| P * V = n * R * T | |
| 100kPa * 4L = n * 8.314LkPa/Kmol * 293K | |
| n = 0.16mol |
