The volume of the gas is 1.6 liters.

Explanation:

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
