The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin. This relationship is described by Charles's Law, which can be formulated as V1/T1 = V2/T2, where V1 and T1 are the initial volume and temperature, and V2 and T2 are the final volume and temperature. To use this formula, temperatures must be in Kelvin. Convert 30.0°C to 303.15K and 300.0°C to 573.15K. Using the formula: (2.33L / 303.15K) = (V2 / 573.15K), solving for V2 gives approximately 4.41L.
