    1 mole occupies 22,400mL at 0°C and 760mmHg.

    V2P2/T2 = V1P1/T1

    T1 = 0 + 273 = 273K

    T2 = 25 + 273 = 298K

    V2=V1P1T2/P2T1 = 22400mL x (760mmHg/755mmHg) x (298K/273K) = 24613mL

    24613mL x (1s / 80mL) = 308s = 5.13min.

    find the volume

    PV=nRT (watch the units)

    convert L to mL

    set up a proportion

    1s/ 80.0 mL = x s/ the volume from PV=nRT in mL
