Answer:
T₂ = 39.4 °K
Explanation:
Because you are only dealing with volume and temperature, you can use Charles' Law to find the missing value. The formula looks like this:
V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂
In this formula, "V₁" and T₁" represent the initial volume and temperature. "V₂" and "T₂" represent the final volume and temperature. You have been given values for all of the variables except for "T₂". Therefore, by plugging these values into the formula, you can simplify to find the answer.
V₁ = 350 mL T₁ = 45 °K
V₂ = 400 mL T₂ = ?
V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂ <----- Charles' Law formula
(350 mL)(45 °K) = (400 mL)T₂ <----- Insert values into variables
15750 = (400 mL)T₂ <----- Multiply left side
39.4 = T₂ <----- Divide both sides by 400
