One way to heat a gas is to compress it.A gas at 3.0 atm at 27°C is compressed to three tenths of its original volume,and it reaches 35 atm pressure.What is its new temperature?
A)186 K
B)95°C
C)1 050°C
D)777°C
E)389 K

Using the combined gas law: (P1 * V1) / T1 = (P2 * V2) / T2, where P is pressure, V is volume, and T is temperature in Kelvin. Convert initial temperature to Kelvin: 27°C = 300 K. Substitute the values: (3 atm * V1) / 300 K = (35 atm * 0.3 V1) / T2. Solving for T2 gives approximately 1050 K, which is 777°C.
