8.7 L

Explanation:

T2 (V1/T1) = V2

417.15 K (6.2 L/296.45 K) = 8.7 L

Remember to almost always change celcius to kelvin. Also, this is part of Charle's Law (temp and volume are proportional, so if temp increaces so must the volume or vice versa). Lastly, Charle's Law has the formula of V1/T1 = V2/T2. I just rearranged it to go along with your problem. Hence, the T2 (V1/T1) = V2
