Answer:

The answer to your question is P = 1.64 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Volume = 2.5 x 10⁷ L

Temperature = 22°C

Pressure = ?

Moles = 1.7 x 10⁶

R = 0.082 atm L/ mol°K

Process

1.- Convert temperature to °K

Temperature = 22 + 273

= 295°K

2.- Use the Ideal gas law to solve this problem

PV = nRT

- Solve for P

P = nRT / V

- Substitution

P = (1.7 x 10⁶)(0.082)(295) / 2.5 x 10⁷

- Simplification

P = 41123000 / 2.5 x 10⁷

- Result

P = 1.64 atm
