A soda bottle is flexible enough that the volume of the bottle can change even without opening it. If you have an empty soda bottle that is 2 L at room temperature of 25°C, what will the new volume be if you put it in your freezer at -4°C?

You tell us. You use Charles' Law, $V \propto T$ $VpropT$ , where $T$ $T$ is quoted as an absolute temperature

Explanation:

Given this proportionality, $\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}$ $V_1/T_1=V_2/T_2$ , where $T$ $T$ is in units of $degrees Kelvin$ $"degrees Kelvin"$ , and solve for $V_{2}$ $V_2$ .

$Degrees Kelvin = Degrees Centigrade + 273.15 \cdot K$ $"Degrees Kelvin "=" Degrees Centigrade + "273.15*K$
