Consider two samples A and B of a gas. The volume and temperature of sample A and B are the same: the pressure of a sample of B is greater. Which sample contains more molecules.

Open in App

Solution

If volume and temperature are same according to ideal gas equation the pressure is directly proportional to number of mole
$P α n$
pressure of sample $B$ is greater hence $B$ has more molecule
