Answer:
49.2°C is the temperature
Explanation:
Based on Charles's law, the absolute temperature of a gas is directly proportional to the volume under constant pressure. The equation is:
V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
Where V is volume and T is absolute temperature of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas.
Computing the values of the problem:
V1 = 0.432L
T1 = -20.0°C + 273.15K = 253.15K
V2 = 0.550L
T2 = ?
0.432L / 253.15K = 0.550L / T2
322.3K = T2
322.3K - 273.15 =
49.2°C is the temperature
