How many molecules of oxygen gas are in 1.42 moles of oxygen gas ?

You have 1.42mol O2.

If 1mol is 6.022*1023 molecules of O2, then 1.42mol O2 is equal to 1.42*6.022*1023 molecules of O2. This gives a total of approx. 8.55*1023 molecules of oxygen gas.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
