There are many ways to solve this question .We will use Temperature

  • T_1=15°C=288K
  • T_2=87°C=360K
  • V_1=49L

Using charles law


\\ \sf\longmapsto (V_1)/(V_2)=(T_1)/(T_2)


\\ \sf\longmapsto V_2=(V_1T_2)/(T_1)


\\ \sf\longmapsto V_2=(49(360))/(288)


\\ \sf\longmapsto V_2=(17640)/(288)


\\ \sf\longmapsto V_2=61.25L
