Charles’ Law allows the prediction of gas volumes at different temperatures. What would the volume of a gas be at 38.3 C if it started at a volume of 45.7mL and a temperature of -58.5 C?

Well, old #"Charles' Law"# holds that.....

#VpropT#...given constant temperature, and constant amount gas...

Explanation:

And thus #V=kT#, and solving for #k#...

#V_1/T_1=V_2/T_2#, and we use #"temperatura assoluta"#...and solve for #V_2=V_1/T_1xxT_2=(45.7*mLxx311.5*cancelK)/(214.7*cancelK)=66.3*mL#
