Verified answer
P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2
V2 = P1V1T2 / T1P2
V2 = 760 torr x 31.0L x 308K / 273K / 805 torr
V2 = 33.0 L
With choices (a) and (b) the question author is checking to see if you realize how many significant digits must be in the answer. The result must be expressed to 3 significant digits, and so the answer is (a).
