What weight of oxygen gas will contain the same number of molecules as 56 g of nitrogen gas (O = 16 u; N = 14 u)
mole = given weight / molecular weight = no. of particles / 6.022 * 1023
no. of particles = given weight / molecular weight * (6.022 * 1023)
so,
no. of particles in 56g of N2 gas is
56/(14 * 2) * 6.022 * 10^23
=12.044 * 10 ^23
let the no. of o2 molecules be x
so,
weight of o2 / molecular weight * {6.022 *10^23} = no. of particles
=> x / (16 * 2) *(6.022 * 10^23) = 12.044 * 10^23
x = 64 g
ANS. 64g
