Use temperature and pressure to define the density, air density is 1.293 kg/m3 at 273 K and 1 ATM. You know the mass of air is 14.3 g, convert that to kg first.

Density = mass/volume, just solve volume from known density and mass.

Air is approximately 20 % oxygen, so the partial pressure of the oxygen is 0.2 atm.

There are several ways to proceed from here. ... I'll pick one.

13.2 g oxygen / 32 g = 0.4125 mol of oxygen

At STP 1 mole occupies 22.4 L. We have a pressure of 0.2 atm. (temp is std)

PV / nT = PV / nT (temp cancels because it is std on both sides)

(0.2 atm)(V) / (0.4125 mol) = (1 atm)(22.4 L)/(1 mole)

solve for V .... V = (22.4L)(0.4125)/(0.2)

V = 46.2 Liters

Assuming you mean 10.7 moles, 273 kelvins and 1.00 atmospheres, plug those values into the Ideal Gas Law equation: PV=nRT (1)(V) = 10.7(0.082)(273), V = 240 liters. You can also get it by simply multiplying moles by 22.4 liters/mole, which is an accepted value of the volume of any gas per mole at STP, which is standard temperature and pressure, since you're at 273K and 1atm.
