Answer:

1,15mL = V₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on Charle's law the volume is directely proportional to the absolute temperature in a gas under constant pressure. The equation is:

V₁T₂ = V₂T₁

Where V is volume and T absolute temperature of a gas where 1 is initial state and 2, final state.

The V₁ is 1.23mL

T₁ = 32°C + 273.15 = 305.15K

T₂ = T₁ - 20°C = 285.15K

Replacing:

1.23mL*285.15K = V₂*305.15K

1,15mL = V₂
