On areally cold day, Josh inflates a bunch of party balloons in his apartment where the temperature is about 71F. He inflates them with air from his lungs, and then the party balloons are sitting on the ground for a while where the air in the balloons comes to the same temperature and pressure as the air in the apartment. In general, after a little time, the pressure inside a party balloon will match the pressure of the air on the outside to good approximation because if there were a mismatch in the pressures, the balloon would either shrink or expand. Also, although exhaled air from a human has slightly different constituents than the ambient air in the atmosphere due to gas exchange processes in the lungs, the molar mass of exhaled air is very nearly the same as the molar mass of air in the atmosphere. Josh takes one of the balloons outside of his apartment. After a very short time, the balloon's internal pressure has equalized with the outside air pressure, but there hasn't yet been enough time for the temperature of the air on the inside of the balloon to have appreciably changed. However, the buoyant force of the outside air on the balloon is 10% greater than the weight of the air on the interior of the balloon. What is the Fahrenheit temperature of the air outside
