Answer: 1.85 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial pressure P1 = 1.70 atm

Initial temperature T1 = 300.0°C

Convert temperature in Celsius to Kelvin i.e (273 + 300.0°C) = 573K

Final pressure P2 = ?

Final temperature T2 = 350.0°C

(273 + 350.0°C) = 623K

Mathematically, pressure law states the pressure (p) of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (T).

i.e Pressure ∝ Temperature.

P1/T1 = P2/T2

1.70 atm/573K = P2/623K

P2 = (1.70 ATM x 623K) / 573K

P2 = 1059.1/573

P2 = 1.85 atm

Thus, the 1.85 atm of pressure is required.
