The volume of the gas is 1.6 liters.

To solve this problem, we need to use the ideal gas law:

#PV=nRT#

#P# is pressure in atmospheres, #V# is volume in liters, #n# is moles, #R# is the universal gas constant, and #T# is the temperature in Kelvins.

Plug the known values into the equation and solve for the volume.

#(10.0)(V)=(1.0)(0.08206)(200)#

#V=((1.0)(0.08206)(200))/(10.0)=1.6# liters
