Answer:

223.08 K

Explanation:

First we convert 173.0 °C to K:

  • 173.0 °C + 273.16 = 446.16 K

With the absolute temperature we can use Charles' law to solve this problem:

  • T₁V₂=T₂V₁

Where in this case:

  • T₁ = 446.16 K
  • V₂ = 50 L
  • T₂ = ?
  • V₁ = 100 L

We input the data:

  • 446.16 K * 50 L = T₂ * 100 L

And solve for T₂:

  • T₂ = 223.08 K
