Answer:

55.5atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using ideal gas law equation;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

Molar mass of BrCl = 79.9 + 35.5

= 115.4g/mol

* mole = 826.76 g ÷ 115.4g/mol

mole = 7.16mol

* Volume = 6342.7 mL = 6342.7/1000 = 6.3427L

* Pressure = ?

* Temperature = 325.77 °C = 325.77 + 273 = 598.77K

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

P = (7.16 × 0.0821 × 598.77) ÷ (6.3427)

P = 351.98 ÷ 6.3427

P = 55.5atm
