Well, PV=nRT.........and so.......V3L

Explanation:

You must simply KNOW that 1atm pressure will support a column of mercury that is 760mm high; and thus Torr1mmHg stands in for a pressure measurement. You must also know the relationship between degrees Kelvin, and degrees centigrade: 0 C+273.15K

V=nRTP=0.1mol×0.0821LatmKmol×310K700Torr760Torratm1

=??L. The question would have been better proposed had it been specified that 0.1mol quantity of gas had been enclosed in a piston at the given temperature and pressure.
