#T = 406.7 # #K#

Given :

number of moles = #n# = #0.310# #mol#

Volume #V# = #22# #L#

Pressure #P# = #0.470# #atm#

Temperature #T# = #?#

Gas constant , #R# , = #0.082# #L# #atm# #mol^-1 K^-1#

Using gas equation ; #PV = nRT#

#T = (PV) /(n R)#

#T# = #(0.470 " atm" xx 22 L) /( 0.082 L " atm " mol^-1 K^-1 xx 0.310 " mol")#

#T = 406.7 # #K#
