    Answer:

    397.5K

    Explanation:

    Given parameters:

    Initial volume = 2.35L

    Final temperature = 23°C

    Final volume = 1.75L

    Unknown:

    Initial temperature = ?

    Solution:

    The Charles’s law states that “the volume of a fixed mass(mole) of a gas varies directly as its absolute temperature if the pressure is constant”.

    Mathematically;

               \frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }

    where V₁ is the initial volume

               T₁ is the initial temperature

               V₂ is the final volume

               T₂ is the final temperature

    we need to convert  °C to Kelvin;

             23°C; 273 + 23 = 296K

             

            \frac{2.35}{T_{1} } = \frac{1.75}{296}

              T₁  = 397.5K
