    Resulting pressure is 13.6 atm.

    Explanation:

    Using Ideal gas equation, we can find the pressure of the gases formed in the reaction.

    PV = nRT

    Number of moles, n = given mass / molar mass = 20 g / 18 g/mol

    = 1.11 moles

    Volume, V = 2 L

    Temperature, T = 25°C + 273 = 298 K

    R = gas constant = 0.08206 L atm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

    P = nRT/V

    = 1.11*0.08206 * 298 / 2

    = 13.6 atm
