A balloon has a volume of 2.00 liters at STP. What will happen to the balloon's

volume if it is moved to an elevation where the pressure is the same and the
temperature is much cooler?

Answer:

The volume of the ballon decreases as much as the temperature is much cooler.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem, the pressure remains constant whereas the temperature decreases. Charles's law states that the temperature is directly proportional to the volume under constant volume.

As in the problem the pressure remains constant but the temperature decreases:

The volume of the ballon decreases as much as the temperature is much cooler.
