To solve this problem, we can use the formula for the relationship between temperature and volume of a gas at constant pressure, known as Charles's Law:
V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
Where V1 and T1 are the initial volume and temperature of the gas, and V2 and T2 are the new volume and temperature of the gas, respectively.
Plugging in the given values, we get:
V1 = 5.0 L
T1 = 273 K
T2 = 350 K
V2 = V1 * T2 / T1
V2 = 5.0 L * 350 K / 273 K
V2 = 6.42 L
Therefore, the new volume of the gas at 350 K is 6.42 L (rounded to two significant figures).
