Question
I only need a the answer. No explanation needed please
**Problem Statement:**

A flexible container at an initial volume of 8.15 L contains 8.51 mol of gas. More gas is then added to the container until it reaches a final volume of 18.7 L. Assuming the pressure and temperature of the gas remain constant, calculate the number of moles of gas added to the container.

**Calculation Area:**

Number of moles of gas: [ _______ ] mol

---

**Explanation:**

This problem involves the application of the Ideal Gas Law in the context of the addition of gas to a system at constant pressure and temperature. 

### Steps to Solve:
1. **Use the formula**: 

   \[
   \text{PV} = \text{nRT}
   \]

   Since temperature (T) and pressure (P) are constant, the ratio \(\frac{V}{n}\) is also a constant.

2. **Initial state**: 
   - Volume (\(V_1\)) = 8.15 L
   - Moles (\(n_1\)) = 8.51 mol

3. **Final state**: 
   - Volume (\(V_2\)) = 18.7 L
   - Moles (\(n_2\)) = Unknown (we need to find this)

4. **Relate initial and final states** using: \(\frac{V_1}{n_1} = \frac{V_2}{n_2}\)

5. **Solve for \(n_2\)**: 
   
   \[
   n_2 = \frac{V_2 \times n_1}{V_1}
   \]

6. **Calculate the moles of gas added**:

   \[
   \text{Moles added} = n_2 - n_1
   \]

Use these equations to find the number of moles added to the gas.
