Hello!

For this problem, we will be applying Charles' Law:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Now that we have the formula, let's convert the temperature to Kelvin.

27 + 273 = 300K

Let's plug everything in now!

10/300 = 12.0/x

Simplified:

1/30 = 12.0/x

Cross-multiply:

1x = 30*12.0

x = 360

Check!

10/300 = 12/360

300*12 = 360*10

3600 = 3600

Therefore, you would have to heat the gas at a temperature of 360K in order to raise the volume to 12.0L.
