Answer:

322.5mL

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Charles's law, which state that at constant pressure the volume of fixed mass of a gas is proportional directly to it's temperature.

This can be expressed as

V1/ T1 = V2 / T2

Where

V1= initial volume= 693 mL

V2= final volume

T2= final temperature=( –125°C + 273)= 148K

T1= initial temperature= (45°C+ 273)=318K

V1/ T1 = V2 / T2

693/318 = V2/148

693×148 = 318 × V2

V2=102564/318

= 322.5mL
