C. 32 C
D. 241 K

Answer 1

Answer:

D is the answer!

Explanation:

Using Charles's Law to solve this question: V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1 = 2.24L

T1 = 52C (covert to Kelvin by plus 273.15) = 325.15K

V2 = 1.66L

T2 = ?

V1/T1 = V2/T2 must change to V2×T1/V1 = T2

1.66 x 325.15/2.24 = V2

V2 = 240.96K ≈ 241K
