V235L

Explanation:

Given the Ideal Gas equation.....PV=nRT

So V=nRTP, and we know that 760mmHg1atm

V=91.8g44.01gmol1×0.0821LatmKmol×517.2K287Torr760Torratm1=??L.

The gas constant conveniently gives us the volume in litres.

Note here that I have (i) converted the pressure in Torr, and (ii) converted the temperature to degrees Kelvin, which are typically used in these reactions.
