Charles's law states that the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature when the pressure is held constant. Mathematically, V/T = constant. Therefore, V1/T1 = V2/T2. Substituting the given values, we get:6.00 × 10^2 cm^3/293 K = 1.20 × 10^3 cm^3/T2Solving for T2, we get:T2 = 313 K = 40°C
