  • Calculating Gas Pressure Using the Ideal Gas Law - Chemistry Problem
    We can use the ideal gas law to calculate the pressure exerted by the gas:

    $$PV = nRT$$

    where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature.

    In this case, we have n = 1.0 mol, V = 2.0 L, R = 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K, and T = 1000 K. Substituting these values into the ideal gas law, we get:

    $$P = \frac{nRT}{V} = \frac{(1.0 mol)(0.08206 L·atm/mol·K)(1000 K)}{2.0 L} = 41.03 atm$$

    Therefore, the pressure exerted by the gas is 41.03 atm.
