Answer:

2 L

Explanation:

At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is proportional to its temperature.

Therefore, we can write
(V_(2) )/(V_(1) ) =(T_(2) )/(T_(1) ) ....... (1) at pressure = constant.

Given that the initial volume (
V_(1)) = 2.5 L and initial temperature (
T_(1)) = 350 K

And the final temperature (
T_(2)) = 280 K

Therefore, from equation (1) we get final volume (
V_(2)) =
(280 * 2.5)/(350) =2 L (Answer)
