The number of molecules is the same for all gases

Explanation:

Using general ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

PV/RT = n

It is possible to find moles of a gas knowing its pressure (1atm), volume (1.0L) and absolute temperature (0+273.15 = 273.15K). R = 0.082atmL/molK

1atm*1.0L/0.082atmL/molK*273.15K = n

0.0446 moles = n

These 0.0446moles are the moles of an ideal gas under these conditions. In an ideal gas its nature is indifferent, that means if you have these four gas under these identical conditions, the number of molecules is the same for all gases.
