A 20.0-L stainless steel container was charged with 2.38 atm of hydrogen gas and 3.00 atm oxygen gas. A spark ignited the mixture, producing water. What is the pressure in the tank at 25 ºC? at 125 ºC
--My teacher said it has something to do with Avogadro's Law, but I have no idea how to even set up the problem since volume is constant??
Hints:
pt 1-- Since V and T are constant, Avogadro’s Law applies. Hydrogen is the limiting reactant.
pt 2--At this temperature the water is also a gas, and its pressure should be added to the pressure of remaining oxygen.

I think it does have to do with partial pressure, but then I'm not sure how the temperature would tie in
