As he gas leaks out, the volume and the temperature of the remaining gas do not  change. The number of moles of the gas in the vessel is given by  n=PVRT
The number of moles in the vessel before the leakage is n1=P1VRT.
The number of moles in the vessel after the leakage is n2=P2VRT.
Thus, the number of moles leaked is  n1n2=P1P2VRT
=200125×103×33.2×1038.3300=1  mole.
