Homework Statement



If oxygen gas occupies 25mL at -25 'C and 65 mm Hg.
What is the volume at 25 'C and 350 mmHg?

Homework Equations



P1+P2+P3=Ptotal

The Attempt at a Solution


I am really not sure how to do this :(
I think maybe I figured it out. Please see below!

The volume of a gas changes, depending on pressure and temperature. Do you know a law that describes this? (It is a law that describes an ideal gas)
 
The ideal gas law equation

Ok I think I might have the answer this is what I cam up with but I am not sure...
Here it is:

25mL/248K = X/298K

Which equals 30.04mL (I still don't believe this is right)

It has nothing to do with the ideal gas equation. If anything, it looks like Dalton's law.

Here it is:

(P1V1)/T1=(P2V2)/T2

V2=(65x25x318) / (350x248) = 4.2

Correct approach, but you need to hone your calculator skills.
