if I attached an object to a balloon full of Carbon Dioxide, would it take more time to fall to the ground than if i dropped the object itself? PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!!!! :)

No, because the acceleration due to gravity is (essentially) constant, no matter what the mass is. So an ant and a car, if dropped from the same height, would touch the ground at exactly the same time (assuming no air resistance, on the car in particular). Since carbon dioxide is denser than air, and I can't imagine the balloon providing much in the way of lift, the balloon would probably make no difference in the time taken to fall a certain height.
