Answer:

The correct answer is 12.43 Liters.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the volume V₁ occupied by the sample of carbon dioxide gas is 14.2 liters at temperature (T₁) 65 degree C or 65+273 K = 338 K.

The gas is cooled at a temperature (T₂) 23 degree C or 273+23 K = 296 K

The volume of the gas (V₂) after cooling can be determined by using the formula,

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

14.2/338 = V₂/296

0.0420 = V₂/296

V₂ = 0.0420 * 296

V₂ = 12.43 Liters.
