A sample of argon gas occupies a certain volume at 15^oC. At what temperature would the volume of the gas be three times as big? Assume the pressure remains constant. A) 864^oC B) 45^oC C) 318^oC D) 591^oC E) 1137^oC

Using Charles's Law (V1/T1 = V2/T2), convert 15°C to Kelvin (288K). To triple the volume, T2 = 3 * 288K = 864K. Convert back to Celsius: 864K - 273 = 591°C.
