Answer

$-41C^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

We can calculate the number of moles of $C_3H_8$ as $n=5.65g\times\frac{1 mol C_3H_8}{44.09gC_3H_8}=0.12814mol $ We know that $PV=nRT$ $\implies T=\frac{PV}{nR}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $T=\frac{\frac{741}{760}\times 2.50}{0.12814\times 0.08206}=231.79K$ $T=231.79-273=-41C^{\circ}$
