Answer:

286 K

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Applying Charles law,

V/T = V'/T'.................... Equation 1

Where V = Initial Volume of gas, T = Initial Temperature of gas in Kelvin, V' = Final Volume of gas, T' = Final Temperature of gas in Kelvin

Make T' the subject of the equation

T' = V'T/V.................. Equation 2

Given: V = 10.0 L, V' = 20.0 L, T = 20°C = (20+273) = 293 K.

Substitute these values into equation 2

T' = (20×293)/10

T' = 586 K

Hence the temperature of the gas is 586 K
