is there any hints to solve these gas laws? when to change atm to torrs and volume to liters?i guess im confused when to solve for T2 V1's is it like inverse operation or something?

In the ideal gas law: PV = nRT, what unit for P and V all depends on the unit for R, as you may find in the following reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_constant
However, the most-frequently used data and unit for R is: 0.08206 L·atm/(K·mol). In this case the pressure unit must be atm and the volume unit must be liter. To avoid confusion or mistakes, I do suggest you to put all the unit into the calculation, and you will find that un-wanted unit should cancel out nicely during your computation. You will know something wrong when some unwanted unit/s appear in the final solution.
