Katherine Yoder · Answer 1

For this problem the Initial Pressure is P1 = 699.0 mmHg. The Initial Temperature is T1 = 40.0 + 273 = 313K. The Final Pressure is P2 = 760.0 mmHg and the Final Temperature (T2) is what you are asked to solve for.

Plug into the Gay-Lussac's Law Equation

P1/T1 = P2/T2

T2 = 344.75 K
