Let's assume that the gas has ideal gas behavior.

Then we can use ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT

Where,
P = Pressure of the gas (Pa)
V = volume of the gas (m³)
n = number of moles (mol)
R = Universal gas constant (8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹)
T = temperature in Kelvin (K)

The given data for the
gas is,
P = 2.8 atm = 283710 Pa
V = 98 L = 98 x 10
⁻³ m³
T = 292 K
R = 8.314 J mol
⁻¹ K⁻¹
n = ?

By applying the formula,
283710 Pa x
98 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 292 K
n = 11.45 mol

Hence, moles of gas is
11.45 mol.
