A hot air balloon is inflated to a volume of 34.5 L at a pressure of 678 mmHg and a temperature of 32.0 °C. The balloon rises in the atmosphere to an altitude of approximately 30,000 ft, where the pressure is 425 mmHg and the temperature is −10.0 °C. Assuming the balloon can freely expand, calculate the volume of the balloon at this altitude.
