Answer

$V_3 = 0.28 m^3$

Work Step by Step

Since the process $2 \rightarrow 3 $ is adiabatic, this means the volume and temperature before and after process remain constant with $\gamma = \frac{5}{2}$ $T_2V_2^{\gamma -1} = T_3V_3^{\gamma - 1}$ $(350K)(0.226 m^3)^{2/3} = (300K)V_3^{2/3}$ $(\frac{V_3}{0.226 m^3})^{2/3} = \frac{350K}{300K} $ $\frac{V_3}{0.226 m^3}= (\frac{350K}{300K}) ^{3/2} $ $V_3= 1.26 (0.226 m^3)$ $V_3 = 0.28 m^3$
