Answer

### 15.0 atm

Explanation

## Step 1: Identify the initial conditions### The initial pressure ( ) is 10 atm and the initial temperature ( ) is 300 K.## Step 2: Identify the final temperature### The final temperature ( ) is 450 K.## Step 3: Apply the ideal gas law### According to the ideal gas law, for a constant volume, the pressure and temperature are related by .## Step 4: Solve for the final pressure ( )### Rearrange the formula to .### Substitute the known values: .### Calculate the result: .## Step 5: Round to the nearest tenth### The final pressure rounded to the nearest tenth is 15.0 atm.
