Answer:

V2 = 2.485L

Step-by-step explanation:

V1 = 1.98L

T1 = 242.5K

V2 = Final volume (What we're solving for)

T2 = 306.6K

V2 / T2 = V1 / T1

Where V1 is the initial volume, T1 is the initial temperature, V2 is the final volume and T2 is the final temperature.

So,

V2 = V1 * T2 / T1 ==> multiply both sides by T2 to isolate V2

V2 =

1.98L * 306.6K / 242.5K =

2.485 L

Hence, V2 = 2.485L
