Answer:

242.5kPa

Explanation:

According to one of the gas laws, [tex]\frac{P1}{T1} =\frac{P2}{T2}[/tex]

Given P1 = 240.0kPa, T1, 15.0°C, T2 = 18.0°C, P2 = ?

Substituting this values into the equation, we have;

[tex]\frac{240}{15+273} =\frac{P2}{18+273}\\\frac{240}{288} =\frac{P2}{291}\\[/tex]

Cross multiplying we have;

288P2 = 240*291

[tex]P2 = \frac{240*291}{288} \\P2 = 242.5kPa[/tex]

The new pressure is 242.5kPa
