Question:
A helium-filled balloon of the type used in long distance flying contains 420,000 ft3 (1.2 × 107 L) of helium. Suppose you fill the balloon with helium on the ground, where the pressure is 737 mm Hg and the temperature is 16.0°C. When the balloon ascends to a height of 2 miles, where the pressure is only 600. mm Hg and the temperature is −33°C, what volume is occupied by the helium gas? Assume the pressure inside the balloon matches the external pressure.
