What kind of pressure would be exerted by 5 moles of water vapor if it were contained in a 0.5 liter bottle heated to 1000K?

The pressure exerted by the 5 moles of water vapor would vary depending on the type of container used to contain the vapor. Generally, the pressure of a gas can be calculated using Boyle's law which states that the pressure P of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume V at a constant temperature T. This means that when the volume is halved, the pressure is doubled. So, in this case, the pressure that would be exerted by the water vapor in the 0.5 liter bottle heated to 1000K would be double the pressure exerted by 5 moles of water vapor at room temperature.
