A gas expands at constant pressure from 3 liters at 15 $\circ$ C until the temperature is 151 $\circ$ C.What is the final volume of the gas?

The final volume of the gas can be calculated using Charles's Law, which states that at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin. First, convert the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15: initial temperature = 10 + 273.15 = 283.15 K, final temperature = 150 + 273.15 = 423.15 K. Then, use the formula V1/T1 = V2/T2 to find the final volume: V2 = V1 * (T2/T1) = 3 * (423.15 / 283.15) ≈ 4.48 liters, which rounds to 4.4 liters.
