Weather balloons carry instruments that can gather data about Earth’s atmosphere. On the ground, a weather balloon has a volume of 250. L, a pressure of 755 mmHg, and a temperature of 25.0°C. As the balloon ascends into the atmosphere, the temperature decreases to 22.0°C and the pressure changes to 710. mmHg. What is the new volume of the weather balloon? Type in your answer using the correct number of significant figures.

Use the combined gas law: P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2.
Convert to K: T1 = 25.0 + 273.15 = 298.15 K, T2 = 22.0 + 273.15 = 295.15 K.
V2 = V1*(P1/P2)*(T2/T1) = 250. L * (755/710) * (295.15/298.15) ≈ 263.17 L
With three significant figures: 263 L
