$6.5 atm$

Using ideal gas law to calculate the pressure of the gas,

So, $PV=nRT$

Given values are, $V=2L,n=0.54 mole,T=(273+20)=293K$

Using, $R=0.0821 L$ atm mol^-1K^-1

We get, $P=6.5 atm$

$P_"container"=6.50*atm$

We assume Ideality....and thus... $P=(nRT)/V$

$=(0.54*molxx0.0821*(L*atm)/(K*mol)xx293.15*K)/(2.00*L)$

Clearly, I used .........

$"absolute temperature"="degree Celsius + 273.15"*K$

And the expression gives us an answer with units of pressure, as is required....

$=(0.54*cancel(mol)xx0.0821*(cancelL*atm)/cancel(K*mol)xx293.15*cancelK)/(2.00*cancelL)$
