what temperature (in °C) is needed to reduce the volume to 2.43 L?
Can't figure it out. Please help! Thank you!

Charles' Law: V1/T1 = V2/T2
***Temperature MUST BE in Kelvin!!!***
°C -> K
Given °C + 273
V1 = 5.10 L
T1 = 198°C + 273 = 471 K
V2 = 2.43 L
T2 = ?
5.10/471 = 2.43/x
x = 224.42 K
K -> °C
Given K - 273
224.42 - 273 = -48.58°C
Sig figs... -48.6°C
