The number of moles is #=2.8mol#

We apply Avogadro's Law (Temperature and Pressure constant)

#V_1/n_1=V_2/n_2#

The initial volume is #=5L#

The initial number of moles is #=2mol#

The final volume is #=12L#

The final number of moles is

#n_2=V_2/V_1*n_1#

#=12/5*2=4.8mol#

The number of moles to be injected is

#=4.8-2=2.8mol#
