Answer

Clausius clapeypeon equation

ln( P1 / P2) = ∆H / R .( 1/T2 -1/T1)

The pressure measured at this new temperature will be 3 times bigger than P1.so we can write P2 = 3.P1

ln( P1 / 3.P1) = 33790/8.31446 ( 1/T2 – 1/351 K)

ln(1/3) = 4064 .1/T2 – 4064.1/351

-1.099 = 4064/T2 – 11.6

10.5 = 4064 / T2

T2 = 4064 / 10.5

T2 = 387 k
