Answer: 1.38

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's Law: This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

[tex]P\propto T[/tex]     (At constant volume and number of moles)

[tex]\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}[/tex]

where,

[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas  = 841 mm Hg

[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas  = ?

[tex]T_1[/tex] = initial temperature of gas  =[tex]14.7^0C=(14.7+273)K=287.7K[/tex]  

[tex]T_2[/tex] = final temperature of gas = [tex]84.7^0C=(84.7+273)K=357.7K[/tex]  

[tex]\frac{841}{287.7}=\frac{P_2}{357.7}[/tex]

[tex]P_2=1045.6mm Hg=1.38atm[/tex]    ( 760 mm Hg = 1atm )

Thus the final pressure is 1.38
