Unburned hydrocarbon on reacting with oxygen undergoes combustion reaction. However, the activation energy of this reaction is significantly high. When a catalyst like Pd is added to the reaction system, it provides active sites for the reaction to occur. It acts are a heterogeneous catalyst. It is pertinent of note that catalyst is refereed as heterogeneous, when it exist in different phase as compared to reactant and products. In present case, reactants and products are in gas phase, while catalyst is in solid phase. Due to availability of larger surface area at active site of Pd, activation energy of reaction decreases and decrease in activation energy favors higher reaction rates.

Answer: Thus the volume of the balloon at this altitude is 419 L
Explanation:
Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.
The combined gas equation is,
where,
= initial pressure of gas = 751 mm Hg
= final pressure of gas = 495 mm Hg
= initial volume of gas = 340 L
= final volume of gas = ?
= initial temperature of gas = 
= final temperature of gas = 
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
Thus the volume of the balloon at this altitude is 419 L
