A 3.54-g sample of lead(II) nitrate, Pb(NO₃) ₂, molar mass = 331 g/mol, is heated in an evacuated cylinder with a volume of 1.60 L. The salt decomposes when heated, according to the equation 2Pb(NO₃) ₂(s) $\rightarrow$ 2PbO(s) + 4NO₂(g) + O₂(g)
Assuming complete decomposition, what is the pressure in the cylinder after decomposition and cooling to a temperature of 300. K? Assume the PbO(s) takes up negligible volume.
