Final pressure =5 bar

Explanation:

"Initial Pressure of the gas"=P_1=5" bar"Initial Pressure of the gas=P1=5 bar

"Initial Volume of the gas"=V_1 LInitial Volume of the gas=V1L

"Initial Temperature of the gas"=T_1=(0+273)K=273KInitial Temperature of the gas=T1=(0+273)K=273K

"Final pressure of the gas"=P_2=?Final pressure of the gas=P2=?

"Final Volume of the gas"=V_2 LFinal Volume of the gas=V2L

"Final Temperature of the gas"=T_2=(546+273)K=819KFinal Temperature of the gas=T2=(546+273)K=819K

Given condition is the is compressed to one third of its original volume.

So V_1=3V_2V1=3V2

We know from gas law

(P_2V_2)/T_2=(P_1V_1)/T_1P2V2T2=P1V1T1

(P_2V_2)/819=(5xx3V_2)/273P2V2819=5×3V2273

P_2=(5xx3xxcancel819^3)/cancel273" bar"=45" bar"
