    Q1. A gas cylinder contains 10 kg of nitrogen at 20°C. If the cylinder's volume is 50 L, what is the pressure?

    • A) 140 atm
    • B) 170 atm
    • C) 200 atm
    • D) 280 atm

    Answer: 170 atm

    Explanation: Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT applied: n = 10 kg / 28 g/mol = 357.14 mol, P = 170 atm. Option A is incorrect due to miscalculation.
