Hello!

We have the following data:

P (Pressure) =? (atm)

V (volume) = 20.0 L

n (mol number) = 0.896 mol

R (gas constant) = 0.082 atm.L / mol.K

T (temperature) = 42 °C (in SI the temperature is given in Kelvin, needs to turn into Kelvin)

TK = TºC + 273.15

TK = 42 + 273.15

TK = 315.15

------------------

Applying the data to the Clapeyron equation, we have:


P*V = n*R*T


P*20.0 = 0.896*0.082*315.15


20.0\:P = 23.1547008


P = (23.1547008)/(20.0)


\boxed{\boxed{P \approx 1.157\:atm}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR!
