Options
- A. 1.5 atm
- B. 3.12 atm
- C. 2.5 atm
- D. 4.16 atm
Answer
D. 4.16 atm
Step-by-step solution
Using the combined gas law equation: P_1 V_1 T_1 = P_2 V_2 T_2 Given values are: P_1 = 1 atm, V_1 = 5 L, T_1 = 300 K V_2 = 2 L, T_2 = 500 K Substituting the values into the equation: 1 5 300 = P_2 2 500 P_2 = 1 5 500 300 2 P_2 = 25 6 4.16 atm Answer: 4.16 atm
