A 3.50 L gas sample at 20.0 C and a pressure of 650. mm Hg is allowed to expand to a volume of 8.0 L. The final pressure of the gas is 425 mm Hg. What is the final temperature of the gas?

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.
