use ideal gas equation PV=nRT

find P fro the above equation all other are available in the your question.

V= volume

T= temperature

n= moles of gas

R is constant = 8.314 4621(75). J K−1 mol−1

Answer:

Pressure = 0.001 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Moles of Nitrogen, n = 0.5

Volume, V = 5.0 L

Temperature, T = 203 K

To determine;

Pressure, P

Formula:

Based on the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

R = gas constant 0.0821 L.atm/mol-K


P = (nRT)/(V) = (0.5 moles*0.0821 Latm/mol-K*5.0L)/(203K)=0.001 atm
