A 20 ft3 container has two partitions. Partition A, whose volume is 11 ft3, contains six Ibm of air at 85 °F. Partition B, on the other part, is evacuated. The air expands freely to fill the entire container, and comes to rest with temperature of 90 °F. At this final state, a pressure gauge connected to the vessel reads 25 psi, and the atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi. What was the initial pressure in kPa?

A 20 ft3 container has two partitions.
Partition A, whose volume is ft3,
contains six Ibm of air at 85 °F. Partition
B, on the other part, is evacuated. The
air expands freely to fill the entire
container, and comes to rest with a
temperature of 90 °F. At this final state,
a pressure gauge connected to the
vessel reads 25 psi, and the
atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi. What
was the initial pressure in kPa?
Select one:
O a. 676.19
O b. 98.1
O c. 67.92
O d. 468.16
