Answer is: the mass of the neon gas is closest to 7.8 grams.

V (neon) = 3.2 L; volume.

T = 330 K; temperature of gas.

p = 3.3 atm; pressure of gas.

R = 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K; gas constant.

Ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T.

n = p·V / R·T.

n (neon) = 3.3 atm · 3.2 L / 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K · 330 K.

n (Ne) = 0.389 mol; amount of substance.

m (Ne) = n (Ne) · M (Ne).

m (Ne) = 0.389 mol · 20.2 g/mol.

m (Ne) = 7.878 g; mass of neon.
