    -129°C

    Explanation:

    First, we analyze what was given from the question as follows:

    V1 = 2.50L

    T1 = 15°C = 15 + 273 = 288K

    V2 = 1.25L

    T2 = ?

    V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

    2.5/288 = 1.25/T2

    Cross multiply to express in linear form

    2.5 x T2 = 288 x 1.25

    Divide both side by the coefficient of T2 i. e 2.5

    T2 = (288 x 1.25) / 2.5

    T2 = 144K

    Converting this temperature (144K) to degree Celsius, we have

    T°C = K - 273

    T°C = 144 - 273

    T°C = - 129°C
