Answer:

It will be : (in simple terms)

Condensation of hot steam or hot vapor on the cooler skin releases the water's latent heat of vaporization, rapidly raising the temperature of the skin which will result in steam burns.

<h2>The new volume of the balloon at the top of Pikes Peak is 10.2 L</h2>

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 577.0 torr

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 400 torr

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 7.4 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 20.6^oC=273+20.6=293.6K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 7.5^oC=273+7.5=280.5K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{577.0\times 7.4}{293.6K}=\frac{400.0\times V_2}{280.5K}

V_2=10.2L

Thus the new volume of the balloon at the top of Pikes Peak is 10.2 L
