T_2=?KT2=?K

Explanation:

This can be solved using the combined gas law where etaη is constant; thus, the formula

(P_1V_1)/(T_1)=(P_2V_2)/(T_2)P1V1T1=P2V2T2

Identify the given and the unknown data and the solving process to find the required variable as follows: ( Note: Temperature must be expressed in K)

Given:Given:
V_1=2.9LV1=2.9L
P_1=5.0 atmP1=5.0atm
T_1=50^oC+273=323KT1=50oC+273=323K
V_2=2.4LV2=2.4L
P_2=3.0 atmP2=3.0atm

,Required:Required:
T_2=?T2=?

Solution:Solution:
Start with the formula. Rearrange it as needed to isolate the required variable and plug in data as identified earlier; that is,
(P_1V_1)/(T_1)=(P_2V_2)/(T_2)P1V1T1=P2V2T2
T_2=(T_1P_2V_2)/(P_1V_1)T2=T1P2V2P1V1
T_2=?KT2=?K

Note: Do not forget to attach the unit of each variable; cancel as needed to get the desired unit which is K.
