________________________________

Using ideal gas law–

We'll use formula,

PV = nRT

Where,

P, Pressure = 1.40 atm

V, Volume = 42.4 L

n, Number of moles = ( To find ) ?

T, temperature = 25°C

  • = 25 + 273

  • = 298 Kelvin

R, Ideal gas constant = 0.08206 L . atm/k. Mol

________________________________

Here, PV = nRT

Or, PV / RT = n

Or,
(1.40 \: atm *42.4 \: litres )/(298 \: k \: * 0.08206 \: l.atm /k \: .mol) = n

Or, n = 2.43 Moles.

Or, n = 2.43 Moles.
