$\\ Using\quad Charles'\quad Law\\ \\ \frac { { V }_{ 1 } }{ { T }_{ 1 } } =\quad \frac { { V }_{ 2 } }{ { T }_{ 2 } } \\ provided\quad the\quad pressure\quad of\quad the\quad gas\quad is\quad kept\quad constant.\\ Temperature\quad should\quad be\quad in\quad Kelvins:\quad \\ Kelvin\quad Temperature\quad =\quad Celsius\quad Temperature\quad +\quad 273.15\quad \\ Given\quad information:\\ { V }_{ 1 }=\quad 7L\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad { V }_{ 2}\quad is\quad unknown\quad \quad {T}_{ 1 }=\quad 24+273.15=297.5K\quad \quad \quad { T }_{ 2 }=104+273.15=377,15K\\ \therefore \quad \frac { 7L }{ 297.5K } =\frac { { V }_{ 2 } }{ 377.5K } \\ \quad \quad \quad 2640.05\quad =\quad 297.5{ V }_{ 2 }\\ \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad { V }_{2}=\frac { 2640.05 }{ 297.5 } \quad \\ \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad { V }_{ 2 }=8.9\quad L\quad to\quad the\quad nearest\quad tenth\quad of\quad a\quad liter.$

Why did Confucianism become so popular in China?

${\huge \underline{{ \fbox \color{red}{A}}{\fbox \color{green}{n}}{\fbox \color{purple}{s}}{\fbox \color{brown}{w}}{\fbox \color{yellow}{e}}{\fbox \color{gray}{r } }}}$

Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism are considered the “<u>three pillars</u>” of ancient Chinese society.
As <u>philosophies</u> and <u>religions</u>, they not only influenced spirituality, but also government, science, the arts, and social structure.
Though their specific beliefs and teachings have occasionally been at odds with each other, there has been much room for overlap.
Instead of one tradition taking over and pushing the others out, the three philosophies have influenced society alongside each other, changed each other, and at times blended together.
Understanding the unique interplay between these three traditions gives <u>great insight</u> into <u>ancient Chinese society</u>, as well as modern times.
