The correct answer is:  4.2

From ideal gas equation p V=n R T



maximum number of moles in container,



n=pVRT=2×2.240.0821×298



=0.18 moles Maximum weight of N2 in container

=0183×28=5.127 g



At 5.127 g exploding can occur. Thus, it must be less than 5.127  . Thus, the maximum amount of nitrogen that can be safely put in this container at 298 temperature and exert pressure less than 2 atm will be closest to undefined.
