Answer

(a) 69.5 K (b) 32.4 atm

Work Step by Step

Volume $V=2.50\,L$ Amount of gas $n=\frac{175\,g}{39.948\,g/mol} =4.38\,mol$ $R=0.0821\,L\,atm\,mol^{-1}K^{-1}$ $PV=nRT$ (ideal gas law) (a) When $P=10.0\,atm$, $T=\frac{PV}{nR}=\frac{10.0\,atm\times2.50\,L}{4.38\,mol\times0.0821\,L\,atm\,mol^{-1}K^{-1}}$ $=69.5\,K$ (b) When $T=225\,K$, $P=\frac{nRT}{V}$ $=\frac{4.38\times0.0821\times225}{2.50}\,atm$ $=32.4\,atm$
