Answer:

191 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by converting celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

Initial temperature (T₁) = 20 °C

Initial temperature (T₁) = 20 °C + 273

Initial temperature (T₁) = 293 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 100 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 100 °C + 273

Final temperature (T₂) = 373 K

Finally, we shall determine the final volume of the air. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial volume (V₁) = 150 cm³

Initial temperature (T₁) = 293 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 373 K

Pressure = constant

Final volume (V₂) =?

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

150 / 293 = V₂ / 373

Cross multiply

293 × V₂ = 150 × 373

293 × V₂ = 55950

Divide both side by 293

V₂ = 55950 / 293

V₂ ≈ 191 cm³

Thus, the final volume of the air is 191 cm³
