  1. Work = integral of PdV.

    Integrating, W = PV from v1 to v2.

    W = 600MJ

    Pressure = 24.82kPa

    V = W/P = 24m^3


  2. First, convert your pressure from psi to Pascals.  Then, the stored energy in the tank is just pressure times volume.  You already know the energy and you will have pressure in the correct units (1 Pascal = 1 N/m^2).  Then all that's left is a little algebra.
