A 5.80 g sample of lead nitrate Pb(NO3)2 molar mass = 331 g/mol is heated in an evacuated cylinder with a volume of 3.25L. The salt decomposes when heated according to the equation: 2Pb(NO3)2 --> 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2 Assuming complete decomposition, what is the pressure in the cylinder after decomposition and cooling to a temperature of 250 K?
