A cylinder with a movable piston contains 2.00 g of helium, He, at room temperature. More helium was added to the cylinder and the volume was adjusted so that the gas pressure remained the same. How many grams of helium were added to the cylinder if the volume was changed from 2.00 L to 3.70 L ? (The temperature was held constant.)

Ideal gas equation: PV = nRT where P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles of gas, R is molar gas constant and T is temperature.

Since P, R and T are constant, V/n = constant

V1 = 2.00 L, V2 = 3.30 L

n1 = (2.00 g)/(4.00 g/mol) = 0.5 mol, n2 = ?

V1/n1 = V2/n2

2.00/0.5 = 3.30/n2

n2 = 0.825 mol

Moles of He added = n2 - n1

= 0.825 - 0.5 = 0.325 mol

Mass of He added = moles x atomic mass

= 0.325 * 4.00 = 1.30 g of He
