Hot air balloons rise when atmospheric gases are heated, typically by burning propane, and the density of the gases decreases. While you are watching one of these balloons rise, a large rip appears.

Which of the following atmospheric gases present will be the first to escape? Argon (Ar), Carbon dioxide (CO₂), Nitrogen (N₂), or Oxygen (O₂) ?

State you answer, then briefly explain why you chose your answer.
