Gaseous chlorine is held in two separate containers at identical temperature and pressure. the volume of container 1 is 1.30 l, and it contains 6.70 mol of the gas. the volume of container 2 is 2.33 l. how many moles of the gas are in container 2?

Answer : The number of moles of gas are in container 2 are 12.008 moles.

Explanation :

According to the Avogadro's Law, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas at constant pressure and temperature.

or,

where,

= initial volume of gas in container 1 = 1.30 L

= final volume of gas in container 1 = 2.33 L

= initial moles of gas in container 2 = 6.70 mole

= final moles of gas in container 2 = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the final moles of the gas.

Therefore, the number of moles of gas are in container 2 are 12.008 moles.
