    First, we need the no. of moles of O2 = mass/molar mass of O2

    = 55 g / 32 g/mol

    = 1.72 mol

    from the balanced equation of the reaction:

    2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H2O (g)

    we can see that the molar ratio between O2: H2O = 1: 2

    So we can get the no. of moles of H2O = 2 * moles of O2

    = 2 * 1.72 mol

    = 3.44 mol

    So by substitution by this value in ideal gas formula:

    PV = nRT

    when P = 12.4 atm & n H2O = 3.44 mol & R = 0.0821 & T = 85 + 273=358K

    12.4 atm * V = 3.44 * 0.0821 * 358 = 8.15 L

    ∴ V ≈ 8.2 L
