A balloon, initially at room temperature and sea-level-atmospheric pressure is placed into a bath of liquid Argon. Its volume is then determined to be one-third (1/3) of its original value. No air was allowed into or out of the balloon and its pressure didn't change. What is the presumed temperature of the liquid Argon, in ∘∘C?
