Answer:

0.683 moles of the gas are required

Step-by-step explanation:

Avogadro's law relates the moles of a gas with its volume. The volume of a gas is directely proportional to its moles when temperature and pressure of the gas remains constant. The law is:

V₁n₂ = V₂n₁

Where V is volume and n are moles of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas.

Computing the values of the problem:

1.50Ln₂ = 5L*0.205mol

n₂ = 0.683 moles of the gas are required
