Solution

To solve this problem, we can use the ideal gas law equation, which states that the product of the pressure and volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas. This can be written as:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where: P1 = initial pressure = 2.00 atm V1 = initial volume = 2.10 L T1 = initial temperature = 39°C = 273 + 39 = 312 K (Kelvin)

P2 = final pressure = 2.00 atm / 2 = 1.00 atm V2 = final volume = 2.10 L * 3 = 6.30 L T2 = final temperature = ?

We can substitute these values into the equation and solve for T2:

(2.00 atm * 2.10 L) / 312 K = (1.00 atm * 6.30 L) / T2

Solving for T2 gives:

T2 = (1.00 atm * 6.30 L) * 312 K / (2.00 atm * 2.10 L) = 936 K

So, the final temperature of the gas, when the pressure is halved and the volume is tripled, is 936 K.
