We are going to assume that the gas mentioned behaves like an ideal gas. The equation that describes the behavior of an ideal gas is as follows:


PV=nRT

Where,

P is the pressure of the gas, 358kPa

V is the volume of the gas, 14.0L

R is the gas constant, 8.31 L kPa/mol K

T is the temperature of the gas, 269K

Now, we will clear the number of moles, n.


n=(PV)/(RT)

We replace the known data:


\begin{gathered} n=(358kPa*14.0L)/(8.31(L.kPa)/(mol.K)*269K) \\ n=(358*14.0)/(8.31*269)mol \\ n=2.24mol \end{gathered}

Answer: In the sample of gas there are 2.24 moles
