Two gases (H2 and O2) are contained in two separate, special tanks, if the temperature is 27 degrees celcius, each special tank is 25L in size and the pressure in each tank is 65atm. The contents of each special tank are moved to a reaction tank (20L), where the gases combine to form water. How much water will be produced?

I have my Balanced Equation: 2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O

Then tell me if I'm starting out right...

n=(65)(25) / (0.0821)(300)
n=66.0 moles of each gas (keeping in mind significant figures!)

Limiting Reagent= Hydrogen gas

Then would I find Liters of water since he is asking How much water will be produced? Would the answer in Liters make the most sense? How do I find this?
Also....

the excess O2 gas is vented so only water remains in the reaction tank. If the water is heated to 250 degrees celsius what is the pressure in the reaction tank (20L)?
