The new volume is 27.4 liters

Explanation:

According to Charles Law's volume and temperature is a direct relationship. As the temperature decreases the volume also decreases.

The key is to solve the equation in terms of degrees K or absolute temperature.

The equation is

$V_1/T_1 = V_2/T_2$

$V_1 = 72.3 l$
$T_1 = 307 k^o$ ( $36C^o + 273 C^o$ ) $0^oC = 273^oK$
$T_2 = 117 k^o$ ( $-156^oC - 273C^o)$

$72.3/307 = V_2/117$ solving this gives

$V_2 = 27.4 l$

$27.4l$ , rounded to one decimal place.

Explanation:

As nothing has been mentioned about the pressure in the problem, it is treated to be constant.

According to Charles Law (Law of Volumes): When the pressure of a sample of gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature and its volume are directly related.

Mathematically stated
$V_1/T_1 = V_2/T_2$ , at constant pressure. ........(1)

Given values are
$V_1 = 72.3 l$
$T_1 = 36+273=309 K$
$T_2 = -156 + 273=117K$
Inserting in the equation (1) we get

$72.3/309 = V_2/117$
$=> V_2 = 72.3/309xx117$
$=> V_2 = 27.4l$ , rounded to one decimal place.
