V_2=9.06mLV2=9.06mL

Explanation:

Since the number of mole nn is constant and the factors changing are the volume, the pressure and temperature; we can modify the ideal gas law PV=nRTPV=nRT to be:

(PV)/T=kPVT=k where k=nRk=nR is constant.

Therefore, (P_1V_1)/(T_1)=(P_2V_2)/(T_2)P1V1T1=P2V2T2

=>V_2=(P_1V_1)/(T_1)xx(T_2)/(P_2)=(0.975cancel(atm)xx8.88mL)/(261cancel(K))xx(273cancel(K))/(1cancel(atm))=9.06mL

Therefore, the volume of the gas at STP would be V_2=9.06mL.
