$$\frac{ V1 }{V 2 }=\frac{ T1 }{T2 }$$
T1=15+173=288 K
T2=-25+273=248 K
V1=10500 L
Calculate V2

12,194 L Is the right answer then! thanks Surjithayer :)

anonymous · Answer

i think you have calculated wrong,lower the temperature less the volume.
$$\frac{ 10500 }{V2 }=\frac{ 288 }{248 },V2=\frac{ 248 }{288 }\times 10500 =?$$
