P = 5.14ATM

Explanation:

Number of moles = 0.108moles

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

Volume V = 0.505L.

Pressure (P) = ?

R = 0.082J/mol. K

From ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P = nRT / V

P = (0.108 * 0.082 * 293.15) / 0.505

P = 2.596 / 0.505

P = 5.14ATM

The pressure of the gas is 5.14ATM
