1. A weather balloon is filled with 15.0 L of helium gas at 25 °C and has a pressure of 685 mmHg. What is the final pressure, in mmHg, of this balloon in the upper atmosphere when the temperature drops to -35 °C and the volume becomes 34.0 L? a) Which two gas laws can be combined to solve this problem? Why? b) Write an expression showing how the two laws you mentioned in part a) can be combined to solve for P2? c) Solve for P2. Show your work. Recall that temperature must always be in Kelvin (K).
