Well, clearly the final number of moles is the same as the initial number of moles.

Explanation:

Mass is conserved in every chemical process, and (most) every physical process. Here, mass and moles, number of molecules are certainly conserved, because all we have done is expand the volume. So the final number of molecules, of moles, is the same as the first.
