Which chamber experiences a maximum pressure of around 118 mm hg during contraction?

The answer is - left ventricle

There are four chambers of the heart and the left ventricle is one of them and this is located in the bottom left portion of the heart just below the left atrium. When the heart contracts, the blood flows back into the left atrium and enters the left ventricle through mitral valve.

Answer: Left ventricle

Explanation: The heart has four chambers which the left ventricle is one and this is situated at the bottom left position of the heart just right below the left atrium.

The left ventricle which is also the strongest chamber of the heart pumps blood rich in oxygen to the rest of the body. The vigorous contractions of the left ventricle create the blood pressure.
