Final answer:

According to Charles's Law, at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature. Using the equation V1 / T1 = V2 / T2, where V1 is the initial volume, T1 is the initial temperature, V2 is the final volume, and T2 is the final temperature, we can solve for the final temperature. Since the final volume is not provided, we cannot determine the exact final temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Charles's Law, at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.



Using the equation V1 / T1 = V2 / T2, where V1 is the initial volume, T1 is the initial temperature, V2 is the final volume, and T2 is the final temperature, we can solve for the final temperature.



Given that the initial volume is 2.3 L and the initial temperature is 25°C, plugging these values into the equation, we get:



V1 / T1 = V2 / T2



2.3 / (25 + 273) = V2 / T2



0.00845 = V2 / T2



Since the final volume is not provided, we cannot find the exact value of the final temperature. Therefore, none of the given options (A, B, C, D) can be determined as the correct answer.
