A weather balloon is inflated to 32.5 L and 0.978 atm at 18.2 $\circ$ C.It rises to an altitude where the pressure is 0.453 atm and the temperature is -14.3 $\circ$ C.What is the final volume of the balloon?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the combined gas law, (P1 * V1) / T1 = (P2 * V2) / T2, and converting temperatures to Kelvin, the final volume is calculated to be approximately 62.3 L.
