Answer:
T° = 453.6 K
Explanation:
Let’s apply the Ideal Gases Law to solve the question:
Pressure . Volume = number of moles . R . T°
We replace data:
5.5 atm . 35.3L = 5.2 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K .T°
T° = (5.5 atm . 35.3L) / (5.2 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K)
T° = 453.6 K
The Ideal Gases Law contains the Absolute value of T° (Kelvin degrees)
So the final answer is: 453.6 K
You can also determine this, because the unit of R (Ideal Gases constant)
