Question:

Identify the pair of gases which have same number of molecules at S.T.P.?

Show Hint

To compare number of molecules, compare number of moles using \(n=\frac{w}{M}\).
  • \(11\ \text{g of }CO_2\) and \(14\ \text{g of }N_2\)
  • \(16\ \text{g of }O_3\) and \(16\ \text{g of }CH_4\)
  • \(5\ \text{g of }H_2\) and \(40\ \text{g of }CH_4\)
  • \(28\ \text{g of }N_2\) and \(22\ \text{g of }CO_2\)

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Same number of molecules means same number of moles because: \[ \text{Number of molecules}=nN_A \]

Step 1:
Calculate moles of \(H_2\). \[ \text{Molar mass of }H_2=2 \] \[ \text{Moles of }H_2=\frac{5}{2}=2.5 \]

Step 2:
Calculate moles of \(CH_4\). \[ \text{Molar mass of }CH_4=16 \] \[ \text{Moles of }CH_4=\frac{40}{16}=2.5 \]

Step 3:
Since both have: \[ 2.5\ \text{moles} \] they have the same number of molecules. Therefore, \[ \boxed{5\ \text{g of }H_2\text{ and }40\ \text{g of }CH_4} \]
