In this question, we have a situation where a gas is in constant pressure but changing its volume and temperature, and the best way to solve a situation like this, is through the Charles's gas law formula, which shows the relationship between volume and temperature when the pressure is constant. The formula is:
V1/T1 = V2/T2
We have:
V1 = 125 cm3, or 0.125 Liters
T1 = 10.0°C, or 283 K
V2 = 140 cm3, or 0.140 Liters
T2 = ?
Now we add these values into the formula:
0.125/283 = 0.140/T2
0.000442 = 0.140/T2
T2 = 0.140/0.000442
T2 = 317 K, or 44°C
