Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ideal gas law is given by:

PV = nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the temperature.

Rearranging the equation to solve for n, we get:

n = PV / RT

where:

P = 120 kPa

V = 32.4 L

R = 8.31 J/mol·K (universal gas constant)

T = 25°C + 273.15 = 298.15 K (temperature in kelvins)

Substituting the values:

n = (120 kPa * 32.4 L) / (8.31 J/mol·K * 298.15 K)

n = 1.34 mol (rounded to two significant figures)

Therefore, there are approximately 1.34 moles of He gas present in the given conditions.
