A technician puts the two gas samples shown in the table into the same sealed container. The gases do not react with each other, and no gas is lost.
| Sample | Substance | Mass |
|---|---|---|
| A | sulfur dioxide, SO2\text{SO}_2SO2 | 16 g |
| B | carbon monoxide, CO\text{CO}CO | 14 g |
Relative atomic masses (ArA_rAr): C=12\text{C} = 12C=12, O=16\text{O} = 16O=16, S=32\text{S} = 32S=32
The Avogadro constant is 6.02 × 1023 per mole.
Calculate the total number of molecules in the container.
