An arctic weather balloon is filled with 34.1L of helium gas inside a prep shed. The temperature inside the shed is 5.°C. The balloon is then taken outside, where the temperature is −5.°C. Calculate the new volume of the balloon. You may assume the pressure on the balloon stays constant at exactly 1atm. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
