Answer

a) $T_f=468K$ b) the final temperature will decrease

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the final temperature as follows: $T_f=\frac{2(Q-W)}{3nR}+T_i$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $T_f=\frac{2(3280-722)}{3(1)(8.31)}+263$ $T_f=468K$ (b) We know that the final temperature will decrease because of more molecules and the average energy gained per molecule will also decrease.
