Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
\(\frac{V_1P_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2P_2}{T_2}\)
\(\frac{1 \times 30}{527 + 2733} = \frac{5P_2}{127 + 273}\)
\(\frac{30}{800} = \frac{5p_2}{400}\)
P2 = \(\frac{400 \times 30}{800 \times 5}\)
= 3
\(\frac{V_1P_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2P_2}{T_2}\)
\(\frac{1 \times 30}{527 + 2733} = \frac{5P_2}{127 + 273}\)
\(\frac{30}{800} = \frac{5p_2}{400}\)
P2 = \(\frac{400 \times 30}{800 \times 5}\)
= 3
