Answer

569 mL

Work Step by Step

$V_{1}=486\,mL$ $T_{1}=(-8+273)K= 265\,K$ $T_{2}=(37+273)K= 310\,K$ . As there is no change in the number of moles and pressure, we can use Charles's law to find $V_{2}$. $\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}$ $\implies V_{2}=\frac{V_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}}=\frac{486\,mL\times310\,K}{265\,K}=569\,mL$
