In this question, we have a gas going through a change in temperature and the law that shows the relationship between temperature and volume is Charles's gas Law, which can be presented with the following formula:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

We have:

V1 = 40 L

T1 = 300 K

V2 = ?

T2 = 50 K

Now we just need to add these values into the formula:

40/300 = V2/50

0.1333 = V2/50

V2 = 6.7 Liters will be the new volume
