Problem

A sealed piston–cylinder device contains 4.00 g4.00\,\text{g} of O2\mathrm{O_2} gas at 300 K300\,\text{K} with an initial volume of 2.50 L2.50\,\text{L}. The gas is heated to 425 K425\,\text{K}, and the piston moves so that the volume increases to 3.10 L3.10\,\text{L}. Using ideal-gas behavior, determine the final pressure of the oxygen gas in atmospheres. (Molar mass of O2=32.0 g mol−1\mathrm{O_2}=32.0\,\text{g}\,\text{mol}^{-1}.)
