P~=12*atmP12atm

Explanation:

Using the Ideal Gas Equation, P=(nRT)/VP=nRTV == (7.6*molxx0.0821*L*atm*K^-1*mol^-1xx314*K)/(16.0*L)7.6mol×0.0821LatmK1mol1×314K16.0L == ??atm??atm

With these problems, we are always faced with choosing the appropriated gas constant, RR. Typically, chemists use "litres"litres and "atmospheres"atmospheres. Absolute temperature in "degrees Kelvin"degrees Kelvin is common to these problems.
