Inside a prep shed where the temperature is 18.°C, an arctic weather balloon is filled with 2.15 L of helium gas. Calculate the new volume (L) of the balloon once it is taken outside where the temperature is –52°C. Assume that the pressure remains constant at 1 atm and round the answer to 3 significant digits.
