Savion Bell · Answer 1

From Charle's law the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.

Therefore';

V1/T1=V2/T2

Where; V1 = 2.40 l, T1 = 273 + 20 = 293 K, V2 = 4.80, and T2 = ?

2.4/293 = 4.8/T2

T2 = (4.8*293) / 2.4

= 586 K or 313° C
