For many purposes we can treat propane (C3H8) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of −42.°C Suppose the temperature of a sample of propane gas is lowered from 15.0°C to -23.0°C, and at the same time the pressure is changed. If the initial pressure was 5.3 atm and the volume decreased by 60%, what is the final pressure? Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

For many purposes we can treat propane (C3H8) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of −42.°C Suppose the temperature of a sample of propane gas is lowered from 15.0°C to -23.0°C, and at the same time the pressure is changed. If the initial pressure was 5.3 atm and the volume decreased by 60%, what is the final pressure? Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Since the given range of temperature is above the boiling point of propane so we can assume it as an ideal gas.
