Calculate the temperature of a gas when #"6.00 L"# at #20.0^@"C"# is compressed to #"4.00L"#?
i have trouble figuring out which gas law i need to use. I know you have to turn C into Kelvin by adding 273.
I just need help with the equations!

The temperature of the compressed gas is
Explanation:
The variables are temperature and volume, so you will use the temperature-volume law , or Charles' law , which states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant pressure is directly proportional to its temperature. This means that if the volume increases, so does the temperature, and vice versa. The equation is:
where:
Known
Unknown
Solution
Rearrange the equation to isolate
