Answer:

3.75 L

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Charles' law, which states:

  • V₁T₂=V₂T₁

Where subscript 1 stands for initial volume and temperature and subscript 2 for final volume and temperature, meaning that in this case:

  • V₁ = 2.5 L
  • T₂ = 300 K
  • V₂ = ?
  • T₁ = 200 K

We input the data:

  • 2.5 L * 300 K = V₂ * 200 K

And solve for V₂:

  • V₂ = 3.75 L
