Please help

The pressure of a 70.0L sample of gas is 600 mm Hg at 20.0°C. If the temperature drops to 15.0"C and the volume expands to 90.0 L, what will the
pressure of the gas be?

Answer:

"457.2 mm.Hg" is the right solution.

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure,

[tex]P_1=600 \ mm.Hg[/tex]

[tex]P_2 = ?\\[/tex]

Volume,

[tex]V_1=70.0 \ L[/tex]

[tex]V_2=90.0 \ L[/tex]

Temperature,

[tex]T_1=20^{\circ}[/tex]

or,

   [tex]=293 \ K[/tex]

[tex]T_2=15.0^{\circ}[/tex]

or,

    [tex]=288 \ K[/tex]

As we know,

⇒  [tex]\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

By putting all the given values in the above expression, we get

⇒  [tex]\frac{0.789\times 70}{293} =\frac{P_2\times 90}{288}[/tex]

⇒  [tex]0.188=\frac{P_2\times 90}{288}[/tex]

By applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒  [tex]P_2=\frac{0.188\times 288}{90}[/tex]

⇒       [tex]=\frac{54.144}{90}[/tex]

⇒       [tex]=0.6016 \ atm[/tex]

or,

⇒       [tex]=457.2 \ mm.Hg[/tex]
