Question

If 1 g of sulphur dioxide contains X molecules, what will be the number of molecules in one g of methane? (S=32 u, O = 16 u,C=12 u ,
H= 1 u)

Solution

Since number of molecules $\propto$ number of moles,
Hence,
$\frac{N_{C H_{4}}}{N_{S O_{2}}} = \frac{n_{C H_{4}}}{n_{S O_{2}}} = \frac{M_{S O_{2}}}{M_{C H_{4}}}$

$\frac{N_{C H_{4}}}{X} = \frac{64}{16}$

$N_{C H_{4}} = 4 \times X$
