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?
A) 12.0 mol
B) 20.3 mol
C) 0.452 mol
D) 3.74 mol
E) none of these

Using the ideal gas law, the number of moles is directly proportional to the volume when temperature and pressure are constant. Therefore, (6.70 mol / 1.30 L) = (x mol / 2.33 L), solving for x gives approximately 12.0 mol.
