### Problem Statement:
A reaction at 34.0 °C evolves 436. mmol of boron trifluoride gas.

Calculate the volume of boron trifluoride gas that is collected. You can assume the pressure in the room is exactly 1 atm. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

### Input Field:
- **Volume:** A text input box is provided for the user to enter the calculated volume in liters (L).

### Additional Interface Details:
- A checkbox labeled "x10" is available, possibly to indicate if scientific notation should be used.
- There are three buttons:
  - A checkmark (✔) button, likely to submit or confirm the entered answer.
  - A circular arrow (↻) button, probably to reset or clear the input.
  - A question mark (?) button, which might provide help or hints for solving the problem.

### Analytical Approach:
To solve the problem, utilize the Ideal Gas Law equation:

\[ PV = nRT \]

Where:
- \( P \) is the pressure (in atm)
- \( V \) is the volume (in liters)
- \( n \) is the number of moles (in this case, mmol of boron trifluoride gas converted to moles)
- \( R \) is the ideal gas constant \( (0.0821 \, \text{L·atm·K}^{-1}\text{·mol}^{-1}) \)
- \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin (K)

#### Conversion:
1. Convert mmol to moles:
   \[ 436 \, \text{mmol} = 0.436 \, \text{mol} \]

2. Convert °C to K:
   \[ T = 34.0 + 273.15 = 307.15 \, \text{K} \]

Now, substitute the values into the Ideal Gas Law equation and solve for \( V \):

\[ V = \frac{nRT}{P} \]

Substitute:
\[ V = \frac{(0.436 \, \text{mol}) (0.0821 \, \text{L·atm·K}^{-1}\text{·mol}^{-1}) (307.15 \, \text{K})}{1 \, \text{atm}} \]

Calculate to find \( V \).
