The volume of a gas is 2.6 L and its temperature is 338 K . If the volume of the container were changed to 3.2 L, what temperature would the gas be? (All other values remain constant.)

The gas temperature will not change if the volume of the container is changed. This is because the temperature of a substance is determined solely by the average kinetic energy of its molecules, which generally does not change as volume is modified. Thus, the temperature of the gas in the 3.2 L container will also be 338 K.
