#V_2 = 33.0# #"L"#

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the temperature-volume relationship of gases, illustrated by Charles's law:

#(V_1)/(T_1) = (V_2)/(T_2)#

Remember that for all gas equation problems, the temperature must always be in units of Kelvin.

Let's convert both temperatures:

#T_1 = 19^"o""C" + 273 = 292# #"K"#

#T_2 = 122^"o""C" + 273 = 395# #"K"#

And the initial volume #V_1# is given as #24.4# #"L"#.

Plugging in known values, and solving for #V_2#, we have

#V_2 = (T_2V_1)/(T_1) = ((395cancel("K"))(24.4color(white)(l)"L"))/(292cancel("K")) = color(blue)(33.0# #color(blue)("L"#
