Use number of mole=mass (in grams) divided by molar mass
AKA n=m/Mr
->Using the mass (4.78g) given to you until he question. Then put the number of mole in pV=nRT but rearrange to
p=nRT divided by volume (V).
AKA p=nRT/V
Also don't forget to convert your temperature to Kelvins (add 273 to your temperature)
