Explanation / Answer

find change in P

if

V = 10 L,

P1 = 1 atm assumed

P2 = from ideal gas law

mol of NH4NO3 = MV= 1.1*1.6 = 1.76 mol of NH4NO3

then

1.76 mol of N2 expected

note that

Vfree for gas = 10-1.6 = 8.4 L

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V= (1.76)(0.082*298)/(8.4) =  5.119 atm

assume Pinitial = 1 atm

so the chang ein P

Ptotal = 5.119-1 = 4.119 atm
