At standard temperature, a gas has a volume of 275mL. The temperature is then increased to 130. Celcius, and the pressure is held constant. What is the new volume?
How do I work this?
v1 = 275mL
t1 = 130. C or 403K
v2=???
t2 = ???
Can someone help me please?

The problem lists the gas at standard temperature which is 273 K. So T1 is 273, T2 is 403, V1 = 275 and you solve for V2. Note the correct spelling of celsius.
Ahh I gotcha. So standard tempature is always 273k?
You know STP stands for "standard temperature & pressure." Standard T is 273 and standard P is 1 atm or 760 mm Hg.
Well...Some in the world has differing standards.

you guys are a bunch of filthy cheaters
The answer is 406 mL
show working out
V2= V1T2/T1
=(0.28L)(403.15K)/(273.15K)
=0.41L
=(0.28L)(403.15K)/(273.15K)
=0.41L
