Answer:

5.63 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

P1 = 5 atm

P2 = ?

T1 = 5 °C = 5 + 273 = 278 K

T2 = 40 °C = 273 + 40 = 313 K

Let the pressure is P2.

Use

Pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature as the volume remains constant.

(P_(1))/(T_(1))=(P_(2))/(T_(2))

(5)/(278)=(P_(2))/(313)

P2 = 5.63 atm

Thus, the pressure is 5.63 atm.
