    According to Mendeleyev-Klapeyron’s equation pV = nRT, where p = 160 atm V = 12 R - constant 0.0821 & T = 298 in Kelvin Using given data, we can determine the amount of Helium gas: n = pV/RT = (160â™12) / (0,0821â™298) = 78,48 (mol) For atmospheric pressure (1 atm) and the same amount we can calculate the volume of tank, using previous equation: V = nRT/p = (78,48â™0,0821â™298) / 1 = 1920 (liters) V = 1920 liters Thus Answer is 1920 liters
