Question:

Raoul Pictet, the Swiss physicist who first liquefied oxygen, attempted to liquefy hydrogen. He heated potassium formate, KCHO2, with KOH in a closed 2.50-Lvessel.

KCHO2(s) + KOH(s) → K2CO3(s) + H2(g)

If 75.0 g of potassium formate reacts in a 2.50-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of hydrogen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25°C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.
