Answer

$3.69L$

Work Step by Step

We can calculate the required volume as follows: $P_{He}+P_{H_2O}=1.00atm=760torr$ $\implies P_{He}+23.8torr=760torr$ $\implies P_{He}=736torr$ and number of moles of $H_e$ can be calculated as $n_{He}=0.586g\times \frac{1mol}{4.003g}=0.146mol\space He$ Now $V=\frac{n_{He}RT}{P_{He}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V=\frac{0.146mol\times \frac{0.08206L\space atm\times 298K}{K\space mol}}{736torr\times \frac{1atm}{760torr}}=3.69L$
