Answer:

31.7 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

Charles law states that for volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature for a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure

we can use the following equation

V1/T1 = V2/T2

where V1 is volume and T1 is temperature at first instance

V2 is volume and T2 is temperature at second instance

temperature should be in kelvin scale

T1 - 0 °C + 273 = 273 K

substituting the values in the equation

22.4 L / 273 K = 25.0 L / T2

T2 = 304.7 K

temperature in celcius is - 304.7 K - 273 = 31.7 °C

the gas must be 31.7 °C to reach a volume of 25.0 L
