Answer:

363.3 degrees K to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply Charles' Law which states that the volume of a gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

23.5 C = 273 + 23.5 = 296.5 degrees K.

40.81 / 296.5 = 50 / x where x is the required temperature.

x = 296.5 * 50 / 40.81

= 363.27 degrees.

Answer: The final temperature is 363.27 K.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,


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

where,


V_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.


V_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:


V_1=40.81m^3\\T_1=23.5^oC=(23.5+273)K=296.5K\\V_2=50.00m^3\\T_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:


(40.81m^3)/(296.5K)=(50.00m^3)/(T_2)\\\\T_2=363.27K

Hence, the final temperature is 363.27 K.
