Well, the mass is easy as you have specified it.....

If the dinitrogen is at room temperature, $298*K$ , you could also specify the pressure by means of the ideal gas equation:

$P=(nRT)/V=((7*g)/(28.02*g*mol^-1)xx0.0821*(L*atm)/(K*mol)*xx298*K)/(0.50*L)$

$~=12*atm$

Note that $1*L-=1*dm^3$ , and I can use these units interchangeably.1
