2000K
(non rounded: 1638K)

Explanation:

(P_1V_1)/T_1=(P_2V_2)/T_2

The conditions of STP for gases is 0˚ C and 1 atm

We need to convert our units for the equation written above to be applicable.

P_1-- 1 atm
V_1-- 0.03 Liters
T_1-- 273 Kelvin, 0˚C + 273= Kelvin

P_2-- 3 atm: 1 atm = 760 mmHg (2280mmHg)/760= 3 atm
V_2-- 0.06 Liters
T_2-- We will solve for this as a variable

[.03xx 1]/273=[3 xx 0.06)/x Now just finish this through simple algebra to get 1638 K

There is 1 significant digit in the rounded version (since 30 and 60 ml have 1 sig fig), Final Answer: 2000K

Use the combined gas law for this question.

The final temperature will be~~"2000 K".

Explanation:

There are three variables in this question, volume (V), temperature (T), and pressure (P). These variables represent the combined gas law . The equation is:

(P_1V_1)/T_1=(P_2V_2)/T_2

where P_1 is the initial pressure in kilopascals (kPa), V_1 is the initial volume, T_1 is the initial temperature in Kelvins, P_2 is the final pressure in kPa, V_2 is the final volume, and T_2 is the final temperature in Kelvins.

As you can see, we will need to make some conversions of the units for the variables.

STP
STP is currently 0^@"C", or "273.15 K" for gas laws. Pressure is "10^5 Pa" or "100 kPa". The pressure needs to be converted from "mmHg" to "kPa".

List what is known/given:
P_1="100 kPa"
V_1="30 mL"
T_1="273.15 K"
P_2=2280color(red)cancel(color(black)("mmHg"))xx(1 "kPa")/(7.50061561303color(red)cancel(color(black)("mmHg")))="303.9750492 kPa"
V_2="60 mL"

List what is unknown: T_2

Solution
Rearrange the combined gas law to isolate T_2. Substitute the known values into the equation and solve.

T_2=(P_2V_2T_1)/(P_1V_1)

T_2=(303.9750492color(red)cancel(color(black)("kPa"))xx60color(red)cancel(color(black)("mL"))xx273.15"K")/(100color(red)cancel(color(black)("kPa"))xx30color(red)cancel(color(black)("mL")))="2000 K" rounded to one significant figure
