We are asked to find the pressure of N₂ at the given conditions. Since moles, volume and temperature are given, we will use the ideal gas equation to calculate for pressure.

 $\boxed{\mathbf{PV}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{nRT}}$

P = pressure, atm
V = volume, L
n = moles, mol
R = gas constant = 0.08206 (L·atm)/(mol·K)
T = temperature, K
