Problem

A container of volume 250 cm3250\,\text{cm}^{3} holds 3.0×10223.0\times10^{22} atoms of an ideal monatomic gas at 300 K300\,\text{K}. Using kB=1.38×10−23 J K−1k_{B}=1.38\times10^{-23}\,\text{J}\,\text{K}^{-1}, what is the pressure of the gas in kilopascals? (a) 50 kPa50\,\text{kPa} (b) 5.0×102 kPa5.0\times10^{2}\,\text{kPa} (c) 0.50 kPa0.50\,\text{kPa} (d) 3.3×102 kPa3.3\times10^{2}\,\text{kPa}
