Answer: 339K

Explanation:

Initial pressure P1 = 14.9 atm

Final pressure P2 = 16.5 atm

Original temperature T1 = 33.1 °C

Convert Celsius to Kelvin

(33.1°C + 273 = 306.1K)

Final temperature T2 = ?

Apply the formula for Pressure's law

P1/T1. = P2/T2

14.9atm/306.1K = 16.5atm / T2

To get T2, cross multiply

14.9 x T2 = 16.5 x 306.1

14.9T2 = 5050.65

T2 = (5050.65/14.9)

T2 = 339K

Thus, the final temperature of the gas would be 339K
