A weather balloon filled with helium (He) has a volume of 1.0 × 104 L at 1.00 atm and 30°C. It rises to an altitude at which the pressure is 0.60 atm and the temperature is 220°C. What is the volume of the balloon then? Assume that the balloon stretches in such a way that the pressure inside stays close to the pressure outside.
