If the 2.00 kg of solid NH4NO3 were heated to 200.0 degrees C in a 250. L steel reaction vessel, what would the pressure in the vessel be following the reaction? Assume the reaction goes to completion.

Dinitrogen oxide can be produced by heating solid ammonium nitrate to 200 degrees C or more. (At 200.0 degrees C, N2O and H2O are both gases.) If the 2.00 kg of solid NH4NO3 were heated to 200.0 degrees C in a 250. L steel reaction vessel, what would the pressure in the vessel be following the reaction?
