Answer:

7.182K

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given;

  • Initial temperature, T1 = 275 K
  • Final temperature, T2 = 395 K
  • Initial volume, V1 = 5 L

We are required to calculate the final volume, V2

  • Charles's law is the law that relates the volume of a gas and its temperature.
  • It states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas and its absolute temperature are directly proportional at a constant pressure.
  • Therefore;


(V1)/(T1)=(V2)/(T2)

To calculate, V2 we rearrange the formula;


V2=(V1T2)/(T1)


V2=((5L)(395K))/(275)


V2=7.182K

Therefore, the ending volume will be 7.182K
