Use the combined gas equation
P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2
P1 = 1.60 atm
V1 = 3.50 L
T1 (must be in Kelvin = 10.40 deg C + 273.15) = 283.55 K
P2 = 0.991 atm
V2 = ? L
T2 = 291.55 K
Solve for V2
V2 = P1V1T2 / P2T1
= 1.60 atm x 3.50 L x 291.55 K / (0.991 atm x 283.55 K)
= 5.81 L (3 sig figs)
P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2
P1 = 1.60 atm
V1 = 3.50 L
T1 (must be in Kelvin = 10.40 deg C + 273.15) = 283.55 K
P2 = 0.991 atm
V2 = ? L
T2 = 291.55 K
Solve for V2
V2 = P1V1T2 / P2T1
= 1.60 atm x 3.50 L x 291.55 K / (0.991 atm x 283.55 K)
= 5.81 L (3 sig figs)
