Answer

4.52 atm

Work Step by Step

Number of moles $n=\frac{mass\,in\,grams}{molar\,mass}= \frac{22.50\,g}{44.01\,g/mol}$ $=0.51125\,mol$ Volume $V=2.50\,L$ Temperature $T=(-4+273)K=269\,K$ $PV=nRT$ (ideal gas law) where $P$ is the pressure and $R$ is the universal gas constant. $\implies P=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{(0.51125\,mol)(0.0821\,L\,atm\,mol^{-1}K^{-1})(269\,K)}{2.50\,L}$ $=4.52\,atm$
