Answer

0.47 L

Work Step by Step

Let $T_{1} = 18^{o}C + 273 K = 291 K$, $V_{1} = 0.5 L$, $T_{2} = 0^{o}C + 273 = 273 K$, $V_{2} = ?$ Using Charles's Law, we have: $\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}$ $\frac{0.5 L}{291 K} = \frac{V_{2}}{273 K}$ $V_{2} = \frac{273 K}{291 K}$ x 0.5 L = 0.47 L
