    Answer:

    The pressure before expansion is 717.1 kPa.

    Explanation:

    We need to use the Ideal Gas equation to find the initial pressure:

     PV = nRT

    Where:

    P: is the pressure

    V: is the volume

    n: is the number of moles

    R: is the gas constant

    T: is the temperature

    Since the number of moles does not change after the expansion, we need the following number of moles:

     n = \frac{P_{f}V_{f}}{RT_{f}}  (1)

    Where “f” is for final

    Before the expansion, the pressure is:

     P_{i} = \frac{nRT_{i}}{V_{i}}   (2)

    By entering equation (1) into (2) we have:

     P_{i} = (\frac{P_{f}V_{f}}{RT_{f}})(\frac{RT_{i}}{V_{i}})

    P_{i} = \frac{P_{f}V_{f}T_{i}}{T_{f}V_{i}} = \frac{900 kPa*900 cm^{3}*292.15 K}{550 K*600 cm^{3}} = 717.1 kPa

    Therefore, the pressure before expansion is 717.1 kPa.                  

    I hope it helps you!
