    769.47°C

    Explanation:

    Step 1:

    Data obtained from the question:

    Pressure (P) = 2900 mmHg

    Density (D) = 1.43 g/L

    Temperature (T) = ?

    Step 2:

    Conversion of 2900 mmHg to atm. This is illustrated below:

    760mmHg = 1atm

    Therefore, 2900 mmHg = 2900/760 = 3.82 atm

    Step 3:

    Finding an expression which relates density, pressure and temperature together. This is illustrated below:

    From ideal gas equation,

    PV = nRT (1)

    Divide both side by P

    V = nRT/P (2)

    Recall:

    Number of mole (n) = mass (m) / Molar Mass (M)

    n = m/M

    Substituting the value of n into equation 2, we obtained:

    V = nRT/P

    V = mRT/MP

    Divide both side by m

    V/m = RT/MP

    Invert the equation

    m/V = MP/RT (3)

    But Density (D) = Mass (m) / volume (V)

    D = m/V

    Replace m/V with D in equation 3.

    m/V = MP/RT

    D = MP/RT

    M (molar mass of oxygen) = 16x2 = 32g/mol

    R (gas constant) = 0.082atm. L/Kmol

    Step 4:

    Determination of the temperature. This is illustrated below:

    M = 32g/mol

    P = 3.82 atm

    R = 0.082atm. L/Kmol

    D = 1.43g/L

    T = ?

    D = MP/RT

    1.43 = (32 x 3.82) / 0.082 x T

    Cross multiply to express in linear form

    1.43 x 0.082 x T = 32 x 3.82

    Divide both side by 1.43 x 0.082

    T = (32 x 3.82) / (1.43 x 0.082)

    T = 1042.47K

    Step 5:

    Conversion of 1042.47K to celsius temperature. This is illustrated below:

    °C = K - 273

    °C = 1042.47K - 273

    °C = 769.47°C
