A compound exists in the gaseous state both as a monomer (A) and dimer (A2). The molecular weight of the monomer is 48. In an experiment, 96 g of the compound was confined in a vessel of volume 33.6 litres and heated to 273°C. Calculate the pressure developed, if the compound exists as a dimer to the extent of 50 per cent by weight, under these conditions, (R = 0.082)
