Answer

6.73 mmHg

Work Step by Step

$P_{1}=1\,atm=760\, mmHg$ (standard pressure) $V_{1}=25.0\,L$ $T_{1}=273\,K$ (standard temperature) $V_{2}= 2460\,L$ $T_{2}=(-35+273)K=238\,K$ According to combined gas law, $\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$ (n is constant) $\implies P_{2}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}V_{2}}=\frac{760\, mmHg\times25.0\,L\times238\,K}{273\,K\times2460\,L}$ $=6.73\, mmHg$
