Homework Help: what is the new pressure in the tank?

Gas is confined in a tank at a pressure of 10 atm and a temperature of 13◦C. If 38 percent of the gas is withdrawn and the temperature iGas is confined in a tank at a pressure of 10 atm and a temperature of 13◦C. If 38 percent of the gas is withdrawn and the temperature is raised to 70◦C, what is the new pressure in the tank? Answer in units of atm.s raised to 70◦C, what is the new pressure in the tank?
Answer in units of atm.

Sol:
Here we will make use of the formulae:
P2 = P1*(V1/V2)*(T2/T1), where V2 = 0.62(V1), T1= 13+273= 286K
T2= 70+273= 343

P2 = 10*1.6129*343/286 = 19.34atm
