Answer: P₂=0.44 atm
Explanation:
For this problem, we are dealing with temperature and pressure. We will need to use Gay-Lussac's Law.
Gay-Lussac's Law:
First, let's do some conversions. Anytime we deal with the Ideal Gas Law and the different laws, we need to make sure our temperature is in Kelvins. Since T₂ is 64°C, we must change it to K.
64+273K=337K
Now, it may be uncomfortable to use kPa instead of atm, so let's convert kPa to atm.
Since our units are in atm and K, we can use Gay-Lussac's Law to find P₂.
P₂=0.44 atm
