819 ml is the volume the gas will occupy at 30.0°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given:

initial volume of the gas V1 = 590 ml

initial temperature of the gas T1 = -55 degrees OR 218.15

final volume of the gas V2 = ?

final temperature of the gas T2 = 30 degrees OR 303.15

Charles' Law equation is used to calculate the volume of gas at 30 degrees from the data given in the question.


(V1)/(T1)=
(V2)/(T2)

V2 =
(V1T2)/(T1)

V2 =
(590 X 303.15)/(218.15)

V2 = 819 ml

The final volume of the gas would be 819 ml.
