So that

Does the sentence"We must find out whether Karl is coming, so we can book a room for him. " make any sense?

It's a blank filling exercise."We must find out _____ Karl is coming, so we can book a room for him." The original answer is "when", but many people wants to fill in"whether". Is this approapriate?
