(p1v1/t1) = (p2v2/t2)
You have p1 and p2, v1 and you need v2, you have t1 and t2. Substitute and solve for v2. Remember to convert the t1 and t2 to kelvin. To do that K = 273 + C = ?

A very flexible helium-filled balloon is released from the ground into the air at 20. ∘ C . The initial volume of the balloon is 5.00 L , and the pressure is 760. mmHg . The balloon ascends to an altitude of 20 km , where the pressure is 76.0 mmHg and the temperature is − 50. ∘ C . What is the new volume, V 2 , of the balloon in liters, assuming it doesn't break or leak?
