3. 107 atm

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the moles of each gas by dividing its mass by its molar mass.

nCHCl₃ = 10.2 g / (119.38 g/mol) = 0.0854 mol

nCH₄ = 0.322 g / (16.04 g/mol) = 0.0201 mol

The total number of moles is 0.0854 mol + 0.0201 mol = 0.1055 mol.

The absolute temperature is 345°C + 273.15 = 618 K

We can find the pressure of the gaseous mixture using the ideal gas equation.

P * V = n * R * T

P = n * R * T / V

P = 0.1055 mol * 0.08206 atm. L/mol. K * 618 K / 0.0500 L

P = 107 atm
