A gas-filled balloon having a volume of 2.00 L at 1.2 atm and 25°C is allowed to rise to the stratosphere (about 30 km above the surface of Earth), where the temperature and pressure are -23°C and 3.00 10-3 atm, respectively. Calculate the final volume of the balloon.

you need to use these values in the combined gas law. The formular for the CGL is:
(temp must be in kelvin this can be done by adding 272 to any celcius temp.)
p * v p * v
------- = ------
t t
(initial p v and t) (final p v and t)
1.2 * 2.00 .003 * v
-------- = ----------
297 249
to find the final volume solve for v
.0080808 = .003 *v / 249
2.012 = .003 * v
670.70 = V
Volume = 671 L
