The number of molecules of oxygen in the cylinder is 6.02×1023 molecules

Data obtained from the question

Number of mole of oxygen = 1 mole

Number of molecule of oxygen =?

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×1023 molecules. This implies that 1 mole of oxygen contains 6.02×1023 molecules.

Since the cylinder contains 1 mole of oxygen, then the number of molecules of oxygen present in the cylinder is 6.02×1023 molecules.
