ANSWER IS To determine if its safe to step into the sealed room and to calculate the air pressure inside we can use the ideal gas law PVnRT Where P is the pressure of the gas in Pascals V is the volume of the gas in cubic meters n is the number of moles of gas R is the ideal gas constant 8314 JmolK T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin Given 1250n1250 moles 60V60 m 10T10 C 28315 K converted to Kelvin First we need to calculate the pressure using the ideal gas law PVnRT 1250mol8314JmolpK28315K60mP60m1250mol8314JmolpK28315K 26234272560PaP60262342725Pa 437237875PaP437237875Pa Now lets convert the pressure from Pascals to atmospheres 1 atm 101325 Pa 437237875Pa101325PaatmP101325Paatm437237875Pa 4314atmP4314atm So the air pressure in ...
