A weather balloon is inflated to 40.0 L and 1.00 atm at 21.3$\degree$C.It rises to an altitude where the pressure is 0.280 atm and the temperature is -48.6$\degree$C.What is the final volume of the balloon?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the combined gas law (P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2), convert temperatures to Kelvin and solve for V2. The final volume is approximately 109 L.
