Quick comprehension check

A gas has a volume of 1,200 L at a temperature of 25°C. If the temperature increases to 75°C, what will be the new volume of the gas? Show your calculations. A balloon filled with gas has a volume of 3,000 m³ at 15°C. If the temperature drops to -5°C, what will be the new volume of the gas? Provide your calculations.
