Answer

$P_f=8$ atm

Work Step by Step

As we know that $\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$ $P_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}\times\frac{T_2}{V_2}$ $V_1=1L=1\times10^{-3}m^3$,$V_2=4L=4\times10^{-3}m^3$ and given that the temperature is isothermal so $T_1=T_2=300K$ Putting these values in the equation and solving: $P_2=\frac{32(1\times10^{-3})}{300}\times\frac{300} {4\times10^{-3}}$ $P_2=8$ atm Therefore, the final temperature is $8$ atm.
