The number of molecules in a gas ( a particular system ) is the number of moles of the particular compound or element ,as 1 mole has 6.023 * 10 to the power 23 molecules (Avogadro's number)
To find the number of moles the formula is
GIVEN WEIGHT / GRAM MOLECULAR WEIGHT
- so the given weight for hydrogen is 3 grams and its gram molecular weight is 2 so the number of moles is 3 /2 which is 1.5 moles
- for oxygen the number of moles is 24 / 16 as 16 is its gram molecular weight so 24/16 is 1.5 moles
so we can see that the number of moles or molecules in both 3 g of hydrogen and 24 g of oxygen have the same number of molecules. so, your answer is the first option
