Expert Solution
Step 1: Given

The initial volume is V subscript 1 equals 10.4 space L divided by s

The initial pressure is P subscript 1 equals 120 space k P a.

The initial temperature is T subscript 1 equals 20 degree C equals 293 space K.

The final pressure is P subscript 2 equals 1000 space k P a.

The final temperature is T subscript 2 equals 300 degree C equals 573 space K.

The specific heat at constant pressure is C subscript p equals 1.018 space k J divided by k g K.

The gas constant is R equals 0.287 space k J divided by k g K.
