So I believe that you are going to be using the formula PV = nRT and you will be solving for moles. You have everything you need for this formula:
P = 170 mm hg **dont forget to change into atm
V = .500 L
R = gas constant (8.314 J / mol)
T = 25.0 C + 273 = temperature in Kelvin
Now it is just plug and chug
I hope this helped!
Have a fantastical day,
