Two gas samples are measured at room temperature and pressure. Their data are shown in the table.
| Gas | Formula | Volume in dm3\text{dm}^3dm3 | Relative formula mass |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sulfur dioxide | SO2\text{SO}_2SO2 | 9.6 | 64 |
| Methane | CH4\text{CH}_4CH4 | 4.8 | 16 |
At room temperature and pressure, one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm3.
Calculate the mass of each gas sample and state the ratio of the number of molecules in the sulfur dioxide sample to the number in the methane sample.
