Two balloon one filled with air and other with helium are kept over night. Balloon with helium shrinks more in size than balloon with air. Why does it happen?

A balloon shrinks because it has some leak in the spherical surface or at the point where we tie it with a thread. Then through the small hole, helium or air molecules escape into the atmosphere, as the inside pressure is more than the external pressure of 1 atmosphere.
this process is called diffusion of gases.
rate of diffusion of gases is inversely proportional to the square root their molar mass or molecular mass. Heavier gas diffuses slower.
Molar mass of air is in between 32 gm and 28 gm, as Oxygen and Nitrogen comprise most of air. Molar mass of Helium is 4 gm.
Hence the phenomenon.

It has some relation to √d too,right?
inversely proportional to square root of density
