Answer: 5.3 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

n = PV/RT

Where:

n = number of moles

P= Pressure = 2.15 atm

V= volume = 60.5 L

R = 0.0821 atm(L)/mol(K)

T = temperature = 25 °+ 273.15 = 298.15 Kelvin

Replacing with the values given:

n = 2.15 (60.5) / 0.0821 (298.15) = 5.3 moles.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
