Answer:

45.91 psi.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:

P₁T₂ = P₂T₁

P₁ = 32.6 psi, T₁ = 735.0 K.

P₂ = ??? psi, T₂ = 1035.0 K.

∴ P₂ = P₁T₂/T₁ = (32.6 psi)(1035.0 K)/(735.0 K) = 45.91 psi.
