Helium for balloons is often stored in steel containers. Under what pressure is helium in a 10.0 L cylinder at room temperature (25 degrees Celsius) if 350 g of He are held

use the Ideal gas equation: $P\cdot V=T\cdot n\cdot R$P·V=T·n·R ;
where P, V, T, n, R are the Pressure, Volume, Temperature (in Kalvin scale), mole number of the gas and Gas Constant.
First, change the temperature and mass into Kavin scale and mole number

where P, V, T, n, R are the Pressure, Volume, Temperature (in Kalvin scale), mole number of the gas and Gas Constant.
First, change the temperature and mass into Kavin scale and mole number
$T=25^{\circ}C=\left(25+273.15\right)K=298.15K$T=25?C=(25+273.15)K=298.15K
$N=350g\cdot H\cdot\frac{1mol}{4g\cdot H}=87.5mol$N=350g·H·1mol4g·H =87.5mol
put them in the equation:
$P\cdot V=T\cdot n\cdot R$P·V=T·n·R
$P\cdot10L=87.5mol\cdot298.15K\cdot8314.46L\cdot Pa\cdot K^{-1}\cdot mol^{-1}=216908672\frac{mol\cdot K\cdot L\cdot Pa}{K\cdot mol}=216908672\cdot L\cdot Pa$P·10L=87.5mol·298.15K·8314.46L·Pa·K−1·mol−1=216908672mol·K·L·PaK·mol =216908672·L·Pa
$P=\frac{216908672\cdot L\cdot Pa}{10\cdot L}=21690867.2Pa=2.169\cdot10^7Pa$P=216908672·L·Pa10·L =21690867.2Pa=2.169·107Pa
so we come to the answer here:
$P=2.169\cdot10^7Pa$P=2.169·107Pa
