How long would a latex balloon filled with hydrogen last?

Asked by intro24 (1434points) December 30th, 2011 from iPhone

A latex ballloon filled with helium lasts about a day before the helium diffuses out and there’s no lift left. Would a hydrogen filled latex balloon last longer? Also, does anyone know roughly how much longer or shorter a hydrogen filled latex balloon would last compared to a helium filled one?
