A syringe initially holds a sample of gas with a volume of 285 mL at 355 K and 1.88 bar. To what temperature must the gas in the syringe be heated/cooled to have a volume of 435 mL at 2.50 bar?
A) 139 K
B) 572 K
C) 175 K
D) 466 K
E) 721 K

Using the combined gas law, (P1 * V1) / T1 = (P2 * V2) / T2, we can solve for T2. Substituting the given values: (1.88 bar * 285 mL) / 355 K = (2.50 bar * 435 mL) / T2. Solving for T2 gives approximately 721 K.
