Answer 2

Answer is: the pressure of the gas is 9,2 atm.
p₁ = 4,0 atm.
T₁ = 300 K.
V₁ = 5,5 L.
p₂ = ?
T₂ = 250 K.
V₂ = 2,0 L.
Use combined gas law - the volume of amount of gas is proportional to the ratio of its Kelvin temperature and its pressure.
p₁V₁/T₁ = p₂V₂/T₂.
4 atm · 5,5 L ÷ 300 K = p₂ · 2,0 L ÷ 250 K.
0,0733 = 0,008p₂.
p₂ = 9,2 atm.
