Answer:

B.) 1.3 atm

Explanation:

To find the new pressure, you need to use Gay-Lussac's Law:

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

In this equation, "P₁" and "T₁" represent the initial pressure and temperature. "P₂" and "T₂" represent the final pressure and temperature. After converting the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin, you can plug the given values into the equation and simplify to find P₂.

P₁ = 1.2 atm                                    P₂ = ? atm

T₁ = 20 °C + 273 = 293 K              T₂ = 35 °C + 273 = 308 K

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂                                             <----- Gay-Lussac's Law

(1.2 atm) / (293 K) = P₂ / (308 K)                  <----- Insert values

0.0041 = P₂ / (308 K)                                   <----- Simplify left side

1.3 = P₂                                                         <----- Multiply both sides by 308
