Incandescent lightbulbs are filled with an inert gas to lengthen the filament life. With the current off ( at T = 20.0 degrees Celsius ), the gas inside a lightbulb has a pressure of 113 kPa. When the bulb is burning, the temperature rises to 89.4 degrees Celsius. What is the pressure at the higher temperature?
