Answer

V1 = Initial volume of the gas = 20 mL
T1 = Initial temperature of the gas = -13°C = -13 + 273 = 260 K
T2 = Final temperature of the gas = 117°C = 117 + 273 = 390 K
V2 = Final volume of the gas =?

By Charles' Law:

V1T1=V2T2\dfrac{\text{V}1}{\text{T}1} = \dfrac{\text{V}2}{\text{T}2}

Substituting the values :

20260=V2390V2=20×390260V2=30 mL\dfrac{\text{20}}{260} = \dfrac{\text{V}2}{390} \\[1em] \text{V}2 = \dfrac{20 \times 390}{260} \\[1em] \text{V}_2 = 30 \text{ mL}

∴ Final volume = 30 mL
