Answer

The final volume is equal to 34.7 L

Work Step by Step

1. Using Avogadro's law, solve for "$V_2$": $\frac{V_1}{n_1} = \frac{V_2}{n_2}$ - Multiply both sides by "$n_2$" $\frac{V_1}{n_1} \times n_2 = {V_2}$ 2. Calculate the number of moles $(O_2)$ in 4.80 g of that. Molar mass : $O: 16.00g * 2= 32.00g $ $ 4.80 \space g \times \frac{1 \space mole}{ 32.00 \space g} = 0.150 \space moles$ 3. Since 0.500 mole of Ne atoms were added, the final number of moles is equal to "$n_1 + 0.500 \space mole$". $n_2 = n_1 + 0.500 \space mole$ $n_2 = 0.150 \space mole + 0.500 \space mole = 0.650 \space mole$ 4. Calculate the value of $V_2$: $\frac{8.00 \space L}{0.150 \space mole} \times 0.650 \space mole = 34.7 \space L$
