Answer:

3.824 atm

Explanation:

From the ideal gas equation

P = mRT/MW × V

m is mass of testosterone = 12.9 g

R is gas constant = 82.057 cm^3.atm/mol.K

T is temperature of benzene solution = 298 K

MW is molecular weight of testosterone = 288.40 g/mol

V is volume of benzene solution = 286 ml = 286 cm^3

P = 12.9×82.057×298/288.4×286 = 3.824 atm
