Answer:

0.1935atm is the pressure of the gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem you have the mass of Neon (You can obtain moles using molar mass), you have volume, and temperature. You can use general ideal gas law to solve pressure:

PV = nRT

P = nRT / V

Where P is pressure in atm, n are moles, R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK), T is absolute temperature (20.0°C + 273.15 = 293.15K), and V is volume in L = Volume in dm³

Moles gas:

Molar mass Ne = 20.1797g/mol

0.325g * (1mol / 20.1797g) = 0.0161 moles

Replacing:

P = nRT / V

P = 0.0161 moles * 0.082atmL/molK * 293.15K / 2L

P = 0.1935atm is the pressure of the gas
