3.1084375L3.1084375L

Explanation:

Use unitary method

We could use the gas laws if we were given other information like moles of gas and pressure but since we dont have them we can use unitary method

So this question can be represented as

"2.9L" / "320K" * 343K = 3.1084375L2.9L320K343K=3.1084375L

Now we know the volume so let us find Pressure
using the gas law PV = nRTPV=nRT

V = "(nRT)"/PV=(nRT)P

3.1084375L = "(n * 0.0821 * 343K)"/P3.1084375L=(n * 0.0821 * 343K)P

P = "28.1603n"/{3.1084375P=28.1603n3.1084375
