Answer:
400 K
Explanation:
Charles’s law states:
A determined volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, while we have constant pressure.
V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂
We replace data:
5 L / 100K = 20L / T₂
T₂ = 20L . 100K / 5 L
T₂ = 400 K
The volume was quadrupled, so the temperature did.
If we want T° at Celsius degree:
400 K – 273 = 127°C
