#1430.678# Pa

Using ideal gas formula: #PV=nRT# .
Here, #V = 16L = 16 dm^3#
#n = 8.6 "moles"#
#R = 8.314#
#T = 47+273.15= 320.15" ""Kelvin"#

Hence #P = (nRT)/V = (8.6*8.314*320.15)/(16)#
#=1430.678 Pa#

Approx. #14*atm#.....

We use the Ideal Gas equation.....

#P=(nRT)/V=(8.60*cancel(mol)xx0.0821*(cancelL*atm)/(cancel(K)*cancel(mol))xx320*cancelK)/(16.0*cancelL)#

#=??*atm#....

What pressure is exerted by a #8,60*mol# quantity of gas at a temperature of #320*K#, that is confined to a #16.0*L# volume?
