    2.5 liters

    Explanation:

    To solve this question you simply use Gay-Lussac's law of combining volume because both gases are at the same temperature at pressure.

    450mLO2 (2mLH21mLO2) = 900mLH2 (9)

    2.7atm : For a question like this, you want to first determine the number of moles of the compound in interest first using stoichiometry and then using the ideal gas law to solve for the variable of interest.

    37gCH4 (1molCH416gCH4) (1molCO21molCH4) = 2.3molCO2 (10)

    Now use the ideal gas law to solve for the pressure of CO2.

    PV=nRT

    P = ?

    V = 30L

    n = 2.3 mol CO2

    T = 427 K

    P = nRT/V

    P = (2.3 mol *.08206 L atm mol-1 K-1 * 427 K) / (30 L)

    P=2.7 atm
