Work Step by Step

According to the ideal gas law, $PV=nRT$ since n is constant, $n_{1}R=n_{2}R.$ So, $P_{1}V_{1}/T_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}/T_{2}$. Let's take, The cross-sectional area of the beaker = A The height of the region occupied by the gas = h We can write, $$\frac{P_{1}Ah_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}Ah_{2}}{T_{2}}-(1)$$ Let's find the $P_{1}, P_{2}$ as follows. $P_{1}=P_{atm}+\rho gH$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $P_{1}=1.01\times10^{5}Pa+(1.36\times10^{4}kg/m^{3})(9.8\space m/s^{2})(0.76\space m)$ $P_{1}=2.02\times10^{5}Pa$ $P_{2}=P_{atm}+\rho gH$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $P_{2}=1.01\times10^{5}Pa+(1.36\times10^{4}kg/m^{3})(9.8\space m/s^{2})(0.38\space m)$ $P_{2}=1.52\times10^{5}Pa$ From (1)=> $T_{2}=(\frac{P_{2}h_{2}}{P_{1}h_{1}})T_{1}$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $T_{2}=\frac{(1.52\times10^{5}Pa)(1.14\space m)}{(2.02\times10^{5}Pa)(0.76\space m)}(273\space K)=308\space K$
