Problem

A large cylindrical tank contains

0.750\text{ m}^3

of nitrogen gas at

27^\circ\text{C}

and

1.50\times10^5\text{ Pa}

absolute pressure. The tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume to be changed. What will be the pressure if the volume is decreased to

0.480\text{ m}^3

and the temperature is increased to

157^\circ\text{C}
