  • Calculate Gas Pressure: Ideal Gas Law - Step-by-Step
    Here's how to calculate the pressure of the helium gas:

    1. Convert Celsius to Kelvin:

    * Temperature (K) = Temperature (°C) + 273.15

    * Temperature (K) = 20°C + 273.15 = 293.15 K

    2. Use the Ideal Gas Law:

    * The Ideal Gas Law is: PV = nRT

    * P = Pressure (in atmospheres)

    * V = Volume (in liters)

    * n = Number of moles

    * R = Ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)

    * T = Temperature (in Kelvin)

    3. Rearrange the equation to solve for P:

    * P = (nRT) / V

    4. Plug in the values:

    * P = (0.108 mol * 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K * 293.15 K) / 0.505 L

    5. Calculate the pressure:

    * P ≈ 5.24 atm

    Therefore, the pressure of the helium gas is approximately 5.24 atmospheres.
