A gas mixture containing oxygen, nitrogen, and argon has a total pressure of 881 torr.  What is the partial pressure of oxygen in torr in the mixture if argon and nitrogen have partial pressures of 0.212 atm and 0.388 atm, respectively, in the mixture?  You must include the correct units in the answer.

 

This is a sig fig question, not a calculation.  Given, at constant n and T:  P1 = 1.3 atm, V1 = 25.0 L, and P2 = 20 atm, the value of V2 is calculated to be 1.625 L.  How would you express V2 to the correct number of sig figs?
