Answer:The new volume will be
0.7 L
Explanation:
This is an example of Charles' law, sometimes called the temperature-volume law. It states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature, while pressure and amount are held constant.
The equation is
V

T
1
=
V

T

, where
V
is volume and
T
is temperature in Kelvins.
Known

Solution
Rearrange the equation to isolate
