For many purposes we can treat methane CH4 as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of −161.°C.Suppose the temperature of a sample of methane gas is raised from −24.0°C to 22.0°C, and at the same time the pressure is changed. If the initial pressure was 0.57kPa and the volume decreased by 35.0%, what is the final pressure? Round your answer to the correct number of significant digits.       kPa
