Answer

435.92 K

Work Step by Step

Here we use equations 14.7 $U=\frac{3}{2}nRT$ and 15.1 $Q=\Delta U+W$ to find the final temperature of the system. We can write, $U_{I}=\frac{3}{2}nRT_{I}-(1)$ and $U_{F}=\frac{3}{2}nRT_{F}-(2)$ (2)-(1), $$\Delta U=(U_{F}-U_{I})=\frac{3}{2}nR(T_{F}-T_{I})$$ $T_{F}=(\frac{2}{3nR})\Delta U+T_{I}-(3)$ We can write, $Q=\Delta U+W=>\Delta U=Q-W-(4)$ (4)=>(3), $$T_{F}=(\frac{2}{3nR})(Q-W)+T_{I}$$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $T_{F}=\frac{2}{3(3\space mol)(8.31\space J/mol\space K)}\{+2438\space J-(-962\space J)\}+345\space K=435.92\space K$ Final temperature = 435.92 K
