    124.18cm³ or 124.18mL

    Explanation:

    From Charles law, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to it Temperature provided pressure remains constant.

    V1 = 120mL = 120cm³

    T1 = 300°C = (300 + 273.15) K = 573.15K

    T2 = 320°C = (320 + 273.15) K = 593.15K

    V2 = ?

    V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

    V2 = (V1 * T2) / T1

    V2 = (120 * 593.15) / 573.15

    V2 = 124.18cm³

    V2 = 124.18mL

    Note 1mL = 1*10^-3L = 1cm³

    Start off with what you are given.

    If you know your gas laws, you have to utilise a certain gas law called Charles' Law:

    V

    1

    T

    1

    =

    V

    2

    T

    2

    V

    1

    is the initial volume,

    T

    1

    is initial temperature,

    V

    2

    is final volume,

    T

    2

    is final temperature.

    Remember to convert Celsius values to Kelvin whenever you are dealing with gas problems. This can be done by adding 273 to whatever value in Celsius you have.

    Normally in these types of problems (gas law problems), you are given all the variables but one to solve. In this case, the full setup would look like this:

    2.75

    291

    =

    V

    2

    318

    By cross multiplying, we have ...

    291

    V

    2

    = 874.5

    Dividing both sides by 291 to isolate

    V

    2

    , we get ...

    V

    2

    = 3.005 ...

    In my school, we learnt that we use the Kelvin value in temperature to count significant figures, so in this case, the answer should have 3 sigfigs.

    Therefore,

    V

    2

    = 3.01 L
