A gas that exerts a pressure of 15.6 psi in a container with a volume of
L will exert a
pressure
of
25.43 psi when transferred to a
container with a volume of 1.895 L.

V1 = 3.09 L

Explanation:

Initial Pressure, P1 = 15.6 psi

Initial Volume, V1 = ?

Final Pressure, P2 = 25.43 psi

Final Volume, V2 = 1.895 L

The relationship between these quantities is given by boyles law;

V1P1 = V2P2

V1 = V2P2 / P1 = 1.895 * 25.43 / 15.6

V1 = 3.09 L

a). in this case, dh> 0 and sd> 0. if t becomes larger, the term "-tds" will become more negative. at some point, it is possible that -dts will be more negative than the dh is positive, and the reaction will become spontaneous. this is probably the correct answer, but you should look at all of the other possibilities and make sure of that.
