Solution

Moles is directly proportional to the number of molecules whereas moles is inversely proportional to the relative molecular mass of the molecule.
N o. space o f space m o l e s equals fraction numerator G i v e n space m a s s over denominator M o l a r space m a s s end fraction
Since mass is constant for all gases, gas with least Molar mass will have most number of molecules.
Molar mass of O subscript 2 - 32 g
N H subscript 3 - 17g
C O subscript 2 - 44g
S O subscript 2 - 64g
Hence NH3 will have most number of molecules.
