    moles B = 2.32 moles

    Explanation:

    In this case, we can assume that both gases are ideals, so we can use the expression for an ideal gas which is:

    PV = nRT

    From here, we can calculate the total moles (n) that are in the container, and then, by difference, we can calculate how much we have of gas B.

    For this case, we will use R = 0.082 L atm / mol K. Solving for n:

    n = PV/RT

    n = 5 * 20 / 0.082 * 303

    n = 4.02 moles

    If we have 4.02 moles between the two gases, and we have 1.70 from gas A, then from gas B we simply have:

    Total moles = moles A + moles B

    moles B = Total moles - moles A

    moles B = 4.02 - 1.70

    moles B = 2.32 moles

    We have 2.32 moles of gas B
