Gaseous chlorine is held in two separate containers at identical temperatures and pressures.The volume of container 1 is 1.30 L,and it contains 6.70 mol of the gas.The volume of container 2 is 2.75 L.How many moles of the gas are in container 2?
A) 14.2 mol
B) 24.0 mol
C) 0.534 mol
D) 3.17 mol
E) None of these

Using the ideal gas law, the number of moles is directly proportional to the volume at constant temperature and pressure. Therefore, (6.70 mol / 1.30 L) = (x mol / 2.75 L), solving for x gives 14.2 mol.
