Using Charles's Law (V1/T1 = V2/T2), where V1 is the initial volume, T1 is the initial temperature, V2 is the final volume, and T2 is the final temperature, we can solve for V2. Given V1 = 500 mL and T1 = 150 K, T2 = 350 K, rearranging Charles's Law gives us V2 = V1 * (T2/T1) = 500 mL * (350 K / 150 K) = 1166.67 mL, which rounds to 1170 mL, making option C correct.
