Help with stoichiometry!?

Nitroglycerine is an explosive used by the mining industry. It detonates according to the following equation: 4C3H5N3O9 (l) -----> 12CO2 (g) + 6N2 (g) + 10H2O (g) + O2 (g) What volume is occupied by the gases produced when 2.00 g of nitroglycerine explodes? The total pressure is 755 mm Hg at 455'C.
