#n=1044.53# #mol#

Explanation:

Assuming that the #4.5# #m# you talk about are actually #4.5# #m^3# (so it's the cylinder's volume):

#pV=nRT#

Where:
#p# is the pressure.
#V# is the volum.
#n# is the number of mols.
#R# is the gas constant.
#T# is the temperature.

#2·4.5=n·8.206·10^(-5)·105#

#n=1044.53# #mol#

Note: the gas constant changes with the units you use, if you use #m^3#, #atm#, #K# and #mol#; it is #8.206·10^(-5)#. If not, you must check the value it takes.
