Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation

General Gas Law:

\(\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1}\) = \(\frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}\)

where T\(_1\) = -73 + 273 = 200k,      T\(_2\) = ?,

V\(_1\) = 1,         V\(_2\) = \(\frac{1}{2V}\),

P\(_1\) = 1.5,      P\(_2\) = 4.5

T\(_2\) = \(\frac{P_2 V_2 T_1}{P_1 V_1}\)

T\(_2\) = \(\frac{4.5 * 1/2 * 200}{1.5 X 1}\)

T\(_2\) → 300k or 27ºC
