Example: If 4.00 L of gas was collected at -13.00℃, what volume will this gas occupy if the temperature changes to 2.00℃? Pressure is constant.

Explanation:

Write your variables. Temperature should be in Kelvins:

V1 = 4 L
T1 = - 13 ℃ = 260 K
V2 = ?
T2 = 2 ℃ = 275 K

Write the formula:

(V1)/(T1) = (V2)/(T2)

Plug in your variables:

(4 L)/(260 K) = (V2)/(275 K)

(0.01538 L/K)(275 K) = V2

4.23 L = V2

∴ The final volume of this gas will be 4.23 L
