Consider two equal-volume flasks of gas at the same temperature and pressure. One gas, oxygen, has a molecular mass of 32. The other gas, nitrogen, has a molecular mass of 28. What is the ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks

The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, equal volumes of all gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of moles.

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance contains avogadro's number of particles.

Thus as oxygen and nitrogen are at same temperature and pressure and are in equal volume flasks , they have same number of moles and thus have same number of molecules.

The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1
