  • Calculating Pressure in a Gas Cylinder: A Step-by-Step Guide
    You can use the ideal gas law to solve this problem:

    PV = nRT

    Where:

    * P is the pressure (in atmospheres, atm)

    * V is the volume (in liters, L)

    * n is the number of moles

    * R is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)

    * T is the temperature (in Kelvin, K)

    1. Rearrange the equation to solve for pressure (P):

    P = nRT / V

    2. Plug in the given values:

    * n = 0.683 mol

    * R = 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K

    * T = 326 K

    * V = 20.1 L

    3. Calculate the pressure:

    P = (0.683 mol * 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K * 326 K) / 20.1 L

    P ≈ 0.919 atm

    Therefore, the pressure in the cylinder is approximately 0.919 atm.
