**Problem Statement:**

Suppose 554 mL of argon at 785 torr is cooled from 25.0°C to -134.0°C. What will be the volume of the sample at the lower temperature and 1.45 atm?

---

**Analysis:**

To solve this problem, we will use the Combined Gas Law which is derived from Boyle's Law, Charles's Law, and Gay-Lussac's Law. The Combined Gas Law formula is:

\[
\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}
\]

Where:
- \( P_1 \) and \( P_2 \) are the initial and final pressures.
- \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \) are the initial and final volumes.
- \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \) are the initial and final temperatures in Kelvin.

First, we need to convert all units to the appropriate SI units:
1. **Convert pressure from torr to atm:**
- Given \( P_1 = 785 \text{ torr} \)
- Conversion: \( 1 \text{ atm} = 760 \text{ torr} \), hence \( P_1 = \frac{785}{760} \text{ atm} \approx 1.033 \text{ atm} \)

2. **Convert temperatures from degrees Celsius to Kelvin:**
- \( T_1 = 25.0 \degree C = 25.0 + 273.15 = 298.15 \text{ K} \)
- \( T_2 = -134.0 \degree C = -134.0 + 273.15 = 139.15 \text{ K} \)

3. **Utilize the given values and plug them into the Combined Gas Law:**
\[ 
\frac{P_1 \times V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 \times V_2}{T_2}
\]
\[ 
\frac{1.033 \text{ atm} \times 554 \text{ mL}}{298.15 \text{ K}} = \frac{1.45 \text{ atm} \times V_2}{139.15 \text{ K}}
\]

4. **Solve for \( V_2 \):**
