Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

From charles' law,


v \alpha t

where v is volume and t is absolute temperature


  • (v1)/(t1) = (v2)/(t2)

  • v1 = 0.5l \\ t1 = (22 + 273 )k\\ t2 = (4 + 273)k \\ t1 = 295k \\ t2 = 277k \\ (0.5)/(295) = (v2)/(277) \\ v2 = 277 * (0.5)/(295) = 0.47l
  • Hence that's it
