Fran purchases a 1.85-ft3, helium-filled Mylar® balloon in a store with an inside temperature of 65.5ºF. When she walks outside, the air temperature is only 11.0ºF. (a) What happens to the balloon as Fran walks toward her car? (b) What is the volume of the balloon when the temperature of the helium reaches the air temperature? (c) What would have been the volume of the balloon if she had purchased it in the summer with an outside temperature of 101ºF? (d) Depending on the season, what can the store clerk do to compensate for the outside temperature and its impact on the volume of the balloon?
