Answer

-33° C

Work Step by Step

$P_{1}=1.80\,atm$ $V_{1}=124\,mL$ $T_{1}= (212+273)K= 485\,K$ $P_{2}= 0.800\,atm$ $V_{2}=138\,mL$ Combined gas law is $\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$ (if n is constant) $\implies T_{2}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}T_{1}}{P_{1}V_{1}}$ $=\frac{0.800\,atm\times138\,mL\times485\,K}{1.80\,atm\times124\,mL}=240.\,K$ $=(240-273)^{\circ}C=-33^{\circ}C$
