    The answer to your question is 6.77 atm

    Explanation:

    Data

    Pressure 1 = P1 = 7.5 atm

    Temperature 1 = T1 = 65°C

    Pressure 2 = P2 = ?

    Temperature 2 = T2 = 32°C

    Process

    -Use Gay-Lussac law to solve this problem

    P1/T1 = P2/T2

    -Solve for P2

    P2 = P1T2 / T1

    -Convert temperature to °K

    T1 = 65 + 273 = 338°K

    T2 = 32 + 273 = 305°K

    -Substitution

    P2 = (7.5 x 305) / 338

    -Simplification

    P2 = 2287.5 / 338

    -Result

    P2 = 6.77 atm
