Problem

The coefficient of volumetric expansion of an ideal gas at a certain temperature is

3.3\times10^{-3}\,\text{K}^{-1}

. (i) Determine this temperature in

^{\circ}\text{C}

. (ii) If the gas occupies

250\,\text{cm}^3

at this temperature, find its volume when it is heated to

77\,^{\circ}\text{C}

at the same pressure.
