    Since you are provided with the pressure and initial volume and told a standard temperature, you should use the Combined gas law. This is (P1 V1) / T1 = (P2 V2) / T2

    STP is 273 k for temperature, so plug in the values.

    (3.5 Pa * 25 L) / 273 K = 1.3 Pa * X L) / 273 K.

    (this is the left side>) 0.32051 = 1.3 X / 273. Multiply both sides by 273 to get rid of it on the right, which leaves you with

    87.4999 = 1.3 X. Divide both sides by 1.3 and there you go,

    67.308 L
