You transfer a sample of gas at 17°C from a volume of 5.68 L and 1.10 atm to a container at 37°C that has a pressure of 1.10 atm. What is the new volume of the gas?
A) 12.4 L
B) 6.07 L
C) 5.31 L
D) 0.165 L
E) none of these

To solve this problem, we can use the formula: 
(P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2

We can plug in the values we know: 
P1 = 1.10 atm 
V1 = 5.68 L 
T1 = 17°C + 273 = 290 K 
P2 = 1.10 atm 
V2 = ? 
T2 = 37°C + 273 = 310 K

Then we can solve for V2: 
(1.10 atm x 5.68 L) / 290 K = (1.10 atm x V2) / 310 K 
V2 = (1.10 atm x 5.68 L x 310 K) / (290 K x 1.10 atm) 
V2 = 6.07 L

Therefore, the answer is B.
