At 300 K, the given amount of fluorine gas has a volume of 30.0 L . What will be the temperature if the gas
occupies a volume of 25 L at constant pressure?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use the Charles' law. It states that under constant pressure, an ideal gas' volume is proportional 
to its absolute temperature. The volume of a gas at constant pressure increases linearly with 
the absolute temperature of the gas. The formula he created was 

    V%5B1%5D%2FT%5B1%5D = V%5B2%5D%2FT%5B2%5D,


where T denotes absolute temperature (in Kelvins).


In your case,  30%2F300 = 25%2FT%5B2%5D.


From the proportion,  T%5B2%5D = %28300%2A25%29%2F30 = 250 K.    ANSWER
