Chemistry: Gas Laws - Pressure in Bottle of Air & Liquid Helium

AI Thread Summary
To determine the pressure inside a sealed 1.00-L bottle containing air and injected liquid helium, first convert the volume to cubic meters. The density of liquid helium at 4.2 K is 0.147 g/mL, allowing for the calculation of the number of moles of helium based on the injected 120.0 mL. Using the ideal gas law, the initial conditions of air at 118 K and 1.0 atm must be considered alongside the added helium as the system warms to 25 °C. The final pressure can be calculated by combining the contributions from both gases in the bottle. Accurate calculations will yield the pressure inside the bottle after the system reaches thermal equilibrium.

Liquid helium at 4.2 K has a density of 0.147 g/mL. Suppose that a 1.00-L metal bottle that contains air at 118K and 1.0 atm pressure is sealed off. If we inject 120.0 mL of liquid helium and allow the entire system to warm to room temperature (25 °C), what is the pressure inside the bottle?

you need to show some work for us to help you. What have you tried doing/what equations do you have?
 
To approach this question you need to know the following:
The volume of the container. Convert l into m^3.
The number of moles of He. Consider the density and the volume of the liquid helium.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
