For many purposes we can treat methane (CHL) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of -161. °C. Suppose the temperature of a sample of methane gas is raised from -22.0 °C to 13.0 °C, and at the same time the pressure is changed. If the initial pressure was 2.5 atm and the volume decreased by 55.0%, what is the final pressure? Round your answer to the correct number of significant digits.
