The Ideal Gas Law
21. Kinetic Theory of Ideal Gases / The Ideal Gas Law / Problem 5

At some pressure and temperature, you have 0.025 m³ of gas in a vessel. To find the effect of compression on this gas, you exert a force that reduces its volume to 0.022 m³. This compression decreases the temperature of the gas by 7.0 K, and the pressure inside the vessel increases by 350 Pa. What was the initial temperature and pressure before this compression? [n = 4.0 mol]
