Answer

$\approx -8.83 k Pa$

Work Step by Step

The differential form of the given equation can be calculated as: $dP=P_v dV + P_T dT$ Write the partial derivatives for the given function. $dP=\dfrac{-8.31 T}{V^2} dV + \dfrac{8.31}{V} dT$ ...(a) Re-arrange the above equation (a) as: $\triangle P \approx \dfrac{-8.31 T}{V^2} \triangle V + \dfrac{8.31 T}{V} \triangle T$ and $\triangle P \approx [\dfrac{-8.31 \times 310}{(12)^2}] \cdot (0.3) + [\dfrac{8.31}{12}] \cdot (-5)$ Thus, we get $\triangle P \approx -8.83 k Pa$
