Answer

$N=30.59 kmol$ $m=122.36kg$

Work Step by Step

First we calculate the volume: $V=\frac{4\pi r^3}{3}=\frac{4\pi*(\frac{9m}{2})^3}{3}=381.7m^3$ From the ideal gas law: $N=\frac{PV}{R_{u}T}=\frac{200kPa*381.7m^3}{8.314\frac{kPam^3}{kmolK}*(27+273.15)K}=30.59 kmol$ $m=NM=30.59 kmol*4\frac{kg}{kmol}=122.36kg$
