Answer

$V_1=50.9L;p_2=6atm; V_3=153L;T_3=930K$

Work Step by Step

We know that $V_1=\frac{m}{pM}RT$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V_1=\frac{8}{4(101300)}(8.31)(310)$ $\implies V_1=50.9L$ Now we can find $p_2$ as $p_2=\frac{T_2}{T_1}p_1$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $p_2=\frac{930}{310}(2)$ $\implies p_2=6atm$ The value of $V_3$ can be calculated as $V_3=\frac{p_2}{p_3}V_2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V_3=\frac{6}{2}(50.9)$ $\implies V_3=153L$ We know that the temperature at state (3) is equal to the temperature at state (2), thus $T_2=T_3=930K$
