A) 295 K
B) 283 K
C) 20.7 K
D) 556 K
E) 307 K

We can use the formula V1/T1 = V2/T2, where V1 and T1 are the initial volume and temperature, and V2 and T2 are the final volume and temperature.

Plugging in the given values, we get:

V1 = 3.62 L
T1 = 21.6°C + 273.15 = 294.75 K
V2 = 3.47 L

Solving for T2, we get:

T2 = (V2/T2) x T1
T2 = (3.62/3.47) x 294.75
T2 = 306.61 K

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get:

T2 = 307 K

Therefore, the correct answer is (B) 283 K.
