The keg for the reaction
2 SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2 SO3(g) is
Keg = [SO3]^2/ {(SO2)^2 ( O2)}
Keg (equilibrium constant) is the ratio of of equilibrium concentration of the product raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficient to the equilibrium concentration of the reactant raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficient.
Boyle’s Law illustrates the inverse relationship of volume and pressure. It follows the formula p1V1 = P2V2 , where P1V1 denotes initial pressure and volume and P2V2 denotes values of pressure and volume.
Now, let us work out for what is asked above.
a. if the pressure is doubled
50.0 p = V x 2p
V = 50.0 p / 2p
= 50.0 /2
= 25.0 m^3
b. if the pressure is cut in half
50.0 p = V x p/2
100 p = V x p
V = 100 m^3
c. if the pressure is tripled
50.0 p = V x 3p
V = 50.0 p / 3p
= 50.0 /3
=16.7 m^3

Ah, this is actually a fairly simple chemistry question.
Recall that at STP, one mole is equivalent to 22.4 L. Knowing this, all you have to do is divide 500 L by 22.4 L to find the number of moles:
500/22.4 = 22.3 mol
