Answer:
2.65 atm.
Explanation:
- We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant,
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n and V are constant, and have different values of P and T:
<em>(P₁T₂) = (P₂T₁).</em>
P₁ = 3.0 atm, T₁ = 30°C + 273 = 303 K,
P₂ = ??? atm, T₂ = -5°C + 273 = 268 K.
∴ P₂ = (P₁T₂)/(T₁) = (3.0 atm)(268 K)/(303 K) = 2.65 atm.
