Answer:

600K

Step-by-step explanation:

The following were obtained from the question.

Initial temperature (T1) = 300K

Initial Volume (V1) = 0.1L

Final volume (V2) = 0.2L

Final temperature (T2) =?

Step 2:

Determination of the final temperature.

Since the pressure is constant, the gas is simply obeying Charles' law.

Using the Charles' law equation, the final temperature can be obtained as follow:

V1/T1 = V2 /T2

0.1/300 = 0.2/T2

Cross multiply to express in linear form

0.1 x T2 = 300 x 0.2

Divide both side by 0.1

T2 = (300 x 0.2)/0.1

T2 = 600K
