A certain gas occupies a volume of 0.76 ...

A certain gas occupies a volume of 0.76 L at a pressure of 1.2 atm and a temperature of 4000 K. It is expanded adiabatically to a volume of 4.3 L. Determine (a) the final pressure and (b) the final temperature, assuming the gas to be an ideal gas for which `gamma` = 1.4.
