Answer:

7.61 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Applying Charles law formula,

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂...................... Equation 1

Where P₁ = initial volume of of air, V₂ = Final volume of air, T₁ = Initial Temperature of air, T₂ = Final Temperature of air.

make V₂ the subject of the equation

V₂ = (V₁×T₂)/T₁............... Equation 2

Given: V₁ = 5 liters, T₁ -35 °C = (-35+273) K = 238 K, T₂ = 89°C = (89+273) K = 362 K

Substitute these values into equation 2

V₂ = (5×362)238

V₂ = 1810/238

V₂ = 7.61 liters
