Answer:

0.53atm = P2

Step-by-step explanation:

Gas at 1.00atm and 20°C. Temperature increased to 40°C...

We can solve this question using combined gas law:

P1*V1 / T1 = P2*V2 / T2

Where P is pressure, V volume and T absolute temperature of 1, initial state and 2, final state.

Compunting the values of the problem:

P1 = 1.00atm

V1 = 250mL

T1 = 20°C + 273.15 = 293.15K

P2 = ?

V2 = 500mL

T2 = 40°C + 273.15 = 313.15K

1.00atm*250mL / 293.15K = P2*500mL / 313.15K

0.53atm = P2
