Let us assume that the oxygen behaves as an ideal gas such that we can use the ideal gas equation to solve for the number of moles of O2.
PV = nRT ; n = PV/RT
Substituting the known values,
n = (0.930 atm)(93/1000 L) / (0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(10 + 273.15K)
n = 3.72 x 10^-3 mols
At STP, the volume of each mol of gas is equal to 22.4 L.
volume = (3.73 x 10^-3 mols) x (22.4 L/1 mol)
volume = 0.0833 L or 83.34 mL
