    3.076 L.

    Explanation:

    The pressure is constant as it is the atmospheric pressure. According to Charles' law; at constant pressure, the volume of a given quantity of a gas varies directly with its temperature.

    ∴ V₁T₂ = V₂T₁.

    V₁ = 2.6 L & T₁ = - 11 °C + 273 = 262 K.

    V₂ = ? L & T₂ = 37 °C + 273 = 310 K.

    ∴ V₂ = (V₁T₂) / T₁ = (2.6 L) (310 K) / (262 K) = 3.076 L.
