Answer:

676mmHg

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula;

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (mmHg)

P2 = final pressure (mmHg)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question;

P1 = 725.0mmHg

P2 = ?

T1 = 20°C = 20 + 273 = 293K

T2 = 0°C = 0 + 273 = 273K

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

725/293 = P2/273

Cross multiply

725 × 273 = 293 × P2

197925 = 293P2

P2 = 197925 ÷ 293

P2 = 676mmHg.

The resulting pressure is 676mmHg
