    You have to look up the atomic weight in the periodic table. It's a gas so it takes the shape of the container. Then I believe, you have to figure out the volume of the container.

    weigh an empty balloon ... fill it with helium and tie it off ... then weigh it again ... of course, since its going to float up, you may have to put the scale on the ceiling
