P = 28 Atm (2 sig. figs.) but exact sig. figs. could be based upon the V = 500 ml data point => 1 sig. fig. => P = 30 Atm.

Explanation:

Using the Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT solve for P = nRT/P

n = ("moles" ) CO_2(moles)CO2(gas) = (25 g) / (44 (g/(mol))25g44(gmol) = 0.5681 "mole"0.5681mole

R = "gas"."constant" = 0.08206 "L-Atm"/"mol-K"R=gas.constant=0.08206L-Atmmol-K

T = Temperature ("Kelvin") = (25 + 273)K = 298KT=Temperature(Kelvin)=(25+273)K=298K

V = Volume (Liters) = (500/1000) Liters = 0.500 "Liters"V=Volume(Liters)=(5001000)Liters=0.500Liters

P = [(0.5681 "mole")(0.08206 "L-Atm"/"mol-K")(298 K)] / [(0.500 L)]P=(0.5681mole)(0.08206L-Atmmol-K)(298K)(0.500L)

= 27.7885 Atm => 28 Atm (2 sig. figs.) or ~ 30 Atm (1 sig. fig.)27.7885Atm28Atm(2sig.figs.)or~30Atm(1sig.fig.)
