Assume that you have equal volumes of oxygen and hydrogen at the same temperature and pressure. If each molecule of oxygen and hydrogen contains two atoms, how do the numbers of oxygen and hydrogen atoms in the gases compare? They are the same. The oxygen has more. The hydrogen has more.
Added by Irene R.
Step 1
Step 1: Use the ideal gas equation \(PV = nRT\) where \(P\) is the pressure, \(V\) is the volume, \(n\) is the number of moles, \(R\) is the gas constant, and \(T\) is the temperature. Show more…

Compare the volumes of $1 \times 10^{23}$ hydrogen molecules, $1 \times 10^{23}$ oxygen molecules, and $2 \times 10^{23}$ nitrogen molecules, all at the same temperature and pressure.
Explain why two liters of hydrogen gas and one liter of oxygen gas react to form two liters of water, when the pressures and temperatures are held constant.
Suppose a mixture contains helium and oxygen gases. If the partial pressure of helium is the same as the partial pressure of oxygen, what do you know about the number of helium atoms compared to the number of oxygen molecules? Explain.
