Answer

$n=106$ mol

Work Step by Step

We will use the ideal gas equation to solve this question: $PV=nRT$ Since we need to find $n$, we will rearrange this equation to make $n$ the subject of the formula: $n=\frac{PV}{RT}$ To use this equation, we need to convert the temperature to Kelvin: $T=273K+10=283K$ Substituting the values into the rearranged formula above, we get $n=\frac{100\times10^3(2.5)}{8.314(283)}$ $n=106$ mol
