A weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 24.5 L at a pressure of 750 Torr and a temperature of 21 degrees C. It is then released and it rises to eventually reach an altitude of 25000 ft where the pressure is 381 Torr and the temperature is -14.0 degrees C. What will be the new volume of the balloon?
