A weather balloon is filled with 15.0 L of helium at a temperature of 25 °C and a pressure of 685 mmHg. a. What is the pressure, in millimeters of mercury, of the helium in the balloon in the upper atmosphere when the final temperature is -35 °C and the final volume becomes 34.0 L, if the amount of gas does not change? b. What is the temperature, in degrees Celsius, if the helium in the balloon has a final volume of 22.0 L and a final pressure of 426 mmHg, if the amount of gas does not change?

Consider this scenario and answer the following questions: On a mid-August day in the northeastern United States, the following information appeared in the local newspaper: atmospheiic pressure at sea level 29.97 in. Hg, 1013.9 mbar. (a) What was the pressure in kPa? (b) The pressure near the seacoast in the northeastern United States is usually reported near 30.0 in. Hg.
