Answer:

3.54 mol

Step-by-step explanation:

When at STP (Pressure of 1 atm & T of 273.16 K), one mol of any given gas occupies 22.4 liters.

With the above information in mind we can calculate the number of moles, using the factor 22.4 L/mol:

79.2 L รท 22.4 L/mol = 3.54 mol

There are 3.54 moles of the gas present in the container.
