181.54 K

Explanation:

From gas laws, we know that v1/t1 = v2/t2 where v and t represent volume and temperatures, 1 and 2 for the first and second container. Making t2 the subject of the formula then

T2=v2t1 / v1

Given information

V1 435 ml

V2 265 ml

T1 298K

Substituting the given values then

T2=265*298/435=181.54 K
