Answer: 4.74 moles of gas are in the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Use the ideal gas law. PV = nRT. and re-arrange from moles by divided RT on both sides.

2.You should get the following equation:
n=PV/RT

3.Insert values:
n = PV/RT = ((4.9 atm)(28 L))/((0.082 (L*atm)/(K*mol)*(353K)) = 4.74 moles.

4.There are 4.74 moles in the container.

Good luck with chemistry!
