Answer:
179 K
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were:
Initial pressure (P₁) = 1480 mm Hg
Initial temperature (T₁) = 478 K
Final pressure (P₂) = 555 mm Hg
Final temperature (T₂) =?
The final temperature of the gas can be obtained as follow:
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
1480 / 478 = 555 / T₂
Cross multiply
1480 × T₂ = 478 × 555
1480 × T₂ = 265290
Divide both side by 1480
T₂ = 265290 / 1480
T₂ ≈ 179 K
Therefore, the final temperature of the gas is 179 K
