Answer

$V_{2}=1.33m^3$ $P_{f}=263.96kPa$

Work Step by Step

For the first tank: $V_{1}=1m^3$ $m_{1}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{RT_{1}}=\frac{350kPa*1m^3}{0.287\frac{kPam^3}{kgK}*(10+273.15)K}=4.31kg$ Fro the second tank: $m_{2}=3kg$ $V_{2}=\frac{m_{2}RT_{2}}{P_{2}}=\frac{3kg*0.287\frac{kPam^3}{kgK}*(35+273.15)K}{200kPa}=1.33m^3$ At the equilibrium conditions: $m_{t}=4.31kg+3kg=7.31kg$ $V_{t}=1m^3+1.33m^3=2.33m^3$ $P_{f}=\frac{m_{t}RT_{f}}{V_{t}}=\frac{7.31kg*0.287\frac{kPam^3}{kgK}*(20+273.15)K}{2.33m^3}=263.96kPa$
