    2192.64 PSI.

    Explanation:

    From the general law of ideal gases:

    PV = nRT.

    where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

    V is the volume of the container in L (V = 1650 L).

    n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = 9750 mol).

    R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L. atm/mol. K).

    T is the temperature of the gas in (T = 35°C + 273 = 308 K).

    ∴ P = nRT/V = (9750 mol) (0.082 L. atm/mol. K) (308 K) / (1650 L) = 149.2 atm.

    To convert from atm to PSI:

    1 atm = 14.696 PSI.

    ∴ P = 149.2 atm x (14.696 PSI/1.0 atm) = 2192.64 PSI.
