Answer: 63.88 atm

Explanation:

To answer this, we use the formula PV = nRT since the asumption is that the gas has an ideal behavior

where number of mole = 2.60 mol, R (gas constant) = 0.08205746 L atm/K mol,

T = 251 ∘C = (251 + 273) K = 524 K, Volume = 1.75 L

Making Pressure the subject of the formula, we have

P = nRT/V = 2.6 * 0.08205746 * 524/2.75 = 63.88 atm
