Volume = V = 2 L = 0.002  m³
T = 273.15 + 27 = 300.15 °K
R = 8.314 J/ mole / °K

number of Moles of Oxygen  = 10 gm / 32 gm/mol  = 5/16
number of moles of Hydrogen:  8 gm  / 2 gm/mol = 4
total number of moles in the gas mixture = 69/16

P V = n R T
P = 69/16 * 8.314 * 300.15 / 0.002      Pa
   = 53.8 atm  approximately    or   5.38 * 10⁶ Pa

It seems a lot,  for just 18 gms of a gas mixture in a 2 L container at room temperature, exerting  5 times atmospheric pressure.
