Answer:

P = 23.78 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of gas = 4.00 mol

Temperature = 88°C

Volume of gas = 5 L

Pressure of gas = ?

Solution;

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

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

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will convert the temperature.

88 + 273 = 362 K

P = nRT/V

P = 4 mol ×0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K ×362 K / 5 L

P = 118.88 atm /5

P = 23.78 atm
