Start by identifying the ideal gas law equation: \( PV = nRT \), where \( P \) is pressure, \( V \) is volume, \( n \) is the number of moles, \( R \) is the ideal gas constant, and \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin.
Substitute the given values into the ideal gas law equation: \( P = 1.5 \) bar, \( V = 12.5 \) L, \( n = 0.44 \) mol, and \( R = 0.08314 \) L·bar/mol·K.
Rearrange the equation to solve for temperature \( T \): \( T = \frac{PV}{nR} \).
Plug the values into the rearranged equation: \( T = \frac{1.5 \times 12.5}{0.44 \times 0.08314} \).
Calculate the result to find the temperature in Kelvin, ensuring all units are consistent and correctly applied.
