Let us assume that you have a volume of 1*L...I make it about 0.2*mol..........

Explanation:

And we must assume a volume because, pressure is a state function of volume, temperature, and amount of gas...

And we must use absolute temperature....-35 ""^@C -= 308.15*K...and so...

n=(PV)/(RT)=(5.8*cancel(atm)xx1*cancelL)/(0.0821*cancel(L*atm)*cancel(K^-1)*mol^-1xx308.15*cancelK)...

=??*mol

...we get an answer in 1/(mol^-1)-=1/(1/(mol))=mol as required...
