A sample of gas at 35degree Celsius and 1 atm occupies a volume of 37.5L. At what temp should the gas be kept, if it required to reduce the volume to 3.0 litre at the same pressure?

The gas should be kept at -248 degrees C.
Explanation:
Use Charles Law. Temperature and Volume are directly related using degrees Kelvin. ( if the pressure and number of molecules are kept constant.
# T_2 = unknown
Substituting these numbers into the equation gives
# T_2 = 24.6 degrees K
Subtract 273 to find degrees C.
