    7.88 atm

    Explanation:

    This question is a very straight forward Question, we have given almost all the parameters needed to solve the question. The parameters given in the question are: Number of moles of oxygen gas = 2.80 mol, the volume of the cylinder = 8.58 L, pressure of the 02 = ? (not given) and the gas temperature = 294 K.

    We are going to use the formula for the ideal gas law below to solve this question:

    PV = nRT.

    Where P = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles, R = gas constant and T = temperature.

    nRT / V = P.

    P = 2.80 * 0.0821 * 294 / 8.58.

    P = 67.58472: 8.58.

    P = 7.87700699300699300.

    P = 7.88 atm.

    pressure of the oxygen gas is 7.88atm

    Explanation:

    Moles of oxygen in cylinder = 2.80 mol

    volume=8.58L

    temperature=294K

    molar gas constant (R) = 0.0821 L atm / (mol K)

    The pressure is calculated using ideal gas law:

    PV = nRT

    making Pressure subject of the formula

    P = nRT / V

    = 2.80 * 0.0821 * 294 / 8.58 L

    P = 7.88 atm
