    Answer: 351.19K

    Explanation: This is a case were the combined gas equation can be applied.

    Combined gas equation is given as; P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2,

    where P1 = Initial pressure = 2.50 atm

    P2 = Final pressure = 7.50 atm

    V1 = Initial volume = 3.50L

    V2 = Final Volume = 1.50L

    T1 = Initial Temperature = 273.15K

    T2 = Final Temperature = ?

    ∴ 2.50atm x 3.50L / 273.15K = 7.50atm x 1.50L / T2

    Making T2 the subject of Formular; we then have;

    T2 = P2 V2 T1 / P1 V1 = 7.50atm x 1.50L x 273.15K / 2.50atm x 3.50L

    = 3072.94 / 8.75 = 351.19K

    The change in temperature (T2) is 351.19K.
