Solution

The correct option is A 2N
Solution:- (C) 2N
From ideal gas equation-
PV=nRT
n=PVRT
For O2-
V=1L(Given)
No. of moles of O2=PRT
Therefore,
No. of molecules of O2=n×Na=N(Given)
PRT×Na=N.....(1)
For SO2-
V=2L(Given)
No. of moles of SO2=2PRT
Therefore,
No. of molecules of SO2=n×Na
No. of moles of SO2=2PRT×Na
No. of molecules of SO2=2N(From (1))
Hence the no. of molecules of SO2 is 2N.
