Answer explanation
Choice C is correct. For the graph shown, the x-axis represents temperature, in kelvins, and the y-axis represents volume, in liters. Therefore, the estimated volume, in liters, of the hydrogen when its temperature is kelvins is represented by the y-coordinate of the point on the graph that has an x-coordinate of . The point on the graph with an x-coordinate of has a y-coordinate of . Therefore, the estimated volume, in liters, of the hydrogen when its temperature is kelvins is .
Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors.
Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors.
Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors.
