The temperature inside my refrigerator is 3.18 Celsius. If I place a balloon in my fridge that initially has a temperature of 22.2 degrees Celsius and a volume of 0.577 L, what will be the volume of the balloon when it is fully cooled in my refrigerator?

0.540 L

Explanation:

From gas law PV=nRT and V_1/T_1=V_2/T_2 , therefore V_2=V_1*T_2/T_1.
Hence V_2=0.577 *276.33 /295.35=0.540 L ,where temperatures were transformed into Kelvin scale.
