Challenge

A weather balloon was filled at the ground with 2,500 L2{,}500\ \mathrm{L} of helium at room conditions. Just before it bursts, its volume is 164,000 L164{,}000\ \mathrm{L} and the temperature around it is 220 K220\ \mathrm{K}. What is the pressure there? Assume that 1 mol of gas takes 25 L at room conditions, and R = 0.082 atm·L/(mol·K).
