To find the volume of the Ne gas, we can use the ideal gas law equation, PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin. First, convert the temperature to Kelvin (54.0°C + 273.15 = 327.15 K) and the pressure to atm (263 torr / 760 = 0.346 atm). Using R = 0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K), we can solve for V: V = nRT/P = (5.86 mol)(0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K))(327.15 K) / (0.346 atm) ≈ 455 L.
