To solve this problem, we can use Charles' Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, assuming pressure is held constant.

To solve this problem, we can use Charles' Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, assuming pressure is held constant. In this case, the initial volume of the gas is 4.0 liters and the initial temperature is 50.0 degrees C.

We can set up the following equation to find the final volume:

(Initial Volume) / (Initial Temperature) = (Final Volume) / (Final Temperature)

Plugging in the values, we get:

(4.0 L) / (50.0 °C) = (Final Volume) / (100.0 °C)

Solving for the final volume, we find that it is 8.0 liters.
