Answer:

8liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Total volume = V(O2) + V(N2).

V(O2) = 2.0 L; V(N2) = X L.

If:

2.0 L = 5.0 moles

X L = 15.0 moles.

Then,

V(N2) = X L = (15.0 moles) * (2.0 L) / (5.0 moles) = 6.0 L.

Finally,

Total volume = VTotal (container) = V(O2) + V(N2) = 2.0 L + 6.0 L = 8.0 L.

Total volume = 8.0 L.

Answer: 8.0 L is the new volume of the container.
