Using the Ideal gas law: PV = nRT; and given the initial conditions:
V1 = 253.2 mL
T1 = 356K
We are asked to determine the new temperature if the volume of the balloon decreased to (V2 = 165.4 mL)
Assume that the pressure and number of moles are constant, the ideal gas law becomes:
V/T = constant
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Solving for T2:
253.2 ml/ 356K = 165.4 ml/T2
T2 = 232.55K
V1 = 253.2 mL
T1 = 356K

Answer:
233K
Explanation:
V1/ T1 = V2/T2
where
V1 ( initial volume)= 253.2 mL
T1 ( initial temperature in Kelvin) = 356 K
V2( final volume)= 165.4 mL
T2( final temperature in Kelvin)= ?
Since we are trying to calculate the final temperatute, rearrange the equation to make T2 the subject and then substitute the known values.
T2= V2/(V1/T1)
T2= 165.4/(253.2/356)
T2= 232.552922591
T2= 233 K
