Answer

-96° C

Work Step by Step

$V_{1}=2.50\,L$ $T_{1}=(80+273)K= 353\,K$ $V_{2}= 1.25\,L$ According to Charles's law, $\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}$ (unchanging P and n) $\implies T_{2}=\frac{V_{2}T_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{1.25\,L\times353\,K}{2.50\,L}$ $=177\,K=(177-273)^{\circ}C=-96^{\circ}C$
