A sealed container with a fixed volume has 4 moles of ideal gas at a temperature of 440 K. 3.9 x 104 J of energy are added to the gas as heat, and a chemical reaction in the gas causes the chemical energy to decrease by 1.7 x 104 J. The number of moles of gas is unchanged by the reaction. What is the final temperature of the gas?
