Answer: 4.41 atm
Explanation:
Given that,
Original pressure of oxygen gas (P1) = 5.00 atm
Original temperature of oxygen gas (T1) = 25°C
[Convert 25°C to Kelvin by adding 273
25°C + 273 = 298K
New pressure of oxygen gas (P2) = ?
New temperature of oxygen gas (T2) = -10°C
[Convert -10°C to Kelvin by adding 273
-10°C + 273 = 263K
Since pressure and temperature are given while volume is held constant, apply the formula for Charle's law
P1/T1 = P2/T2
5.00 atm /298K = P2/263K
To get the value of P2, cross multiply
5.00 atm x 263K = 298K x V2
1315 atm•K = 298K•V2
V2 = 1315 atm•K / 298K
V2 = 4.41 atm
Thus, the new pressure inside the canister is 4.41 atmosphere
