Answer:
5.06atm
Explanation:
Using the combined gas law equation;
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
Where;
P1 = initial pressure (atm)
P2 = final pressure (atm)
V1 = initial volume (Litres)
V2 = final volume (Litres)
T1 = initial temperature (K)
T2 = final temperature (K)
According to the information provided in this question;
P1 = 1.34 atm
P2 = ?
V1 = 5.48 L
V2 = 1.32 L
T1 = 61 °C = 61 + 273 = 334K
T2 = 31 °C = 31 + 273 = 304K
Using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
1.34 × 5.48/334 = P2 × 1.32/304
7.34/334 = 1.32P2/304
Cross multiply
334 × 1.32P2 = 304 × 7.34
440.88P2 = 2231.36
P2 = 2231.36/440.88
P2 = 5.06
The final pressure is 5.06atm
