Darker colors absorb sunlight more, so it will become hotter. Lighter colored clothes will better reflect sun so they will be less hot.

Hope that helped

Answer:

It will reach to its maximum volume.

Explanation:

Using Ideal gas equation for same mole of gas as :-

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

Given ,

V₁ = 65.0 mL

V₂ = ?

P₁ = 745 torr

The conversion of P(torr) to P(atm) is shown below:

$P(torr)=\frac {1}{760}\times P(atm)$

So,

Pressure = 745 / 760 atm = 0.9803 atm

P₁ = 0.9803 atm

P₂ = 0.066 atm

T₁ = 25 ºC

T₂ = -5 ºC

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T₁ = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

T₂ = (-5 + 273.15) K = 268.15 K

Using above equation as:

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

$\frac{{0.9803}\times {65.0}}{298.15}=\frac{{0.066}\times {V_2}}{268.15}$

Solving for V₂ as:-

$V_2=\frac{0.9803\times \:65.0\times 268.15}{298.15\times 0.066}$

$V_2=\frac{17086.38392}{19.6779}$

V₂ = 868 L

Given that:- V max = 835 L

<u>Thus, it will reach to its maximum volume.</u>
