Nitrous oxide (N2O) gas is widely used in automotive industries to improve engine performance. At an unknown temperature, the volume of an N2O gas sample is 0.758 L. At constant pressure and amount of gas, the volume of the gas decreases to 0.494 L when the temperature is 30.0°C. Determine the initial temperature (in °C) of the gas.
