So far as I understand it, and in an effort to avoid actually getting tweezers and counting all the molecules, I gather that any molecule can be used with Avagadro's constant, even a mix of them, hence there are 6.02 x 10^23 molecules in a Mol and that would fill 22.4 litres. Therefore the answer is 6.02 x 10^23 / 22.4 = 2.69 x 10^22 molecules per litre at STP.
To check the answer, assuming that the molecular weight of N2 is 28 and the molecular weight of O2 is 32 and they are mixed in the ratio 79:21 then the total weight of a litre of air should be about (((79*28)+(21*32))/100) x (2.69 x 10^22) / (6.02 x 10^23) = 1.28g/litre and I think that given all of the rounding and guesswork involved, that agrees close enough for me with the 1.2kg/m^3 given on Wikipedia (given that there are 1000 litres in a cubic meter).
I'm sure there are more accurate answers to be had, but I don't have one to share.

How many molecules are in one cubic meter of air?
That depends on the pressure and temperature of the air in the cubic meter. Any time you change the pressure or the temperature of a gas, you change the number of molecules in one cubic meter of it.
How many hectograms are in a liter?
In one liter there are 100,000 hectograms. There are 100 hectograms in one gram, and that is multiplied by the 1,000 grams in a liter.
How many dL in 1L?
There are ten deciliters in one liter.
How many ml in 1 liter of milk?
One thousand
What is one thousand times smaller than a milliliter?
A microliter (one-millionth of a liter).The first ten prefixes on the small side of the prefix list are :deciliter (one tenth of a liter)centiliter (one hundredth of a liter)milliter(one thousandth of a liter)microliter(one millionth of a liter)nanoliter (one billionth of a liter)picoliter (one trillionth of a liter)femtoliter (one quadrillionth of a liter)attoliter (one quintillionth of a liter)zeptoliter (one sextillionth of a liter)yoctoliter (one septillionth of a liter)
How many molecules in one liter of air at 294.11 degrees Kelvin at one atmosphere of pressure?
Ideal gas law: PV=nRT. number of moles is 0.0414335 moles. x avagadros number is 2.495x1022 molecules
How many cubic feet of air makes 1 liter of air?
1 liter of air is equivalent to approximately 0.0353 cubic feet of air.
How many liters would you have if you mixed one liter of marbles and one half a liter of sand make?
If there are no air spaces (theoretically) it will be 1.5L
How much will one liter of air expand?
1 liter
How many air molecules in atmosphere?
The mass of the Earth's atmosphere is 5.25x10^21 grams. If we assume the molar mass of air is approximately 29 grams per mole we get:(5.25x10^21) multiplied by Avogadro's constant (6.02x10^23) and then divided by (29 grams/ mol) = 1.09x10^44 molecules of air in the atmosphere.
How much does one liter of air weigh at 101.325 KPa?
One liter of air at 101.325 equals on liter of air at 101.325. It is a trick question of sorts, because the metric unit of measurement "liter" is defined by said amount of matter in an atmosphere of 101.325 KPa.
What is heavier 1 liter of air or 1 liter of water?
Water because a liter is a measurement of space and not mass. Water occupying 1 liter of space is lots heavier than air occupying 1 liter of space. <><><><><> It depends on density. It is possible, given enough pressure, to have one liter of air weigh more than one liter of water.
Does one liter of alcohol and one liter of water make two liters of solution?
not quite. some of the molecules fit between each other.
How many molecules are in one cubic meter of air?
That depends on the pressure and temperature of the air in the cubic meter. Any time you change the pressure or the temperature of a gas, you change the number of molecules in one cubic meter of it.
What will happen to the volume of one liter of air if you increase its temperature from 25 degrees celsius to body temperature?
The volume of one liter of air will increase because as the temperature increases, the air molecules gain energy and move faster, causing the air to expand. This relationship is described by Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin, assuming constant pressure and amount of gas.
How many oxygen molecules in 1 liter of air?
At STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure: 1 atmosphere of pressure, 0oC), one mole of any gas will occupy 22.4 liters of space. One mole of any substance contains 6.02 x 1023 particles (similar to how a dozen is 12 of anything). Air is about 21% oxygen, depending upon your location and local biotic and abiotic factors. So, at STP, 1 liter of air is about 0.21 liters of oxygen. To find out how many moles that represents, divide 0.21 by 22.4. Take that answer and multiply by 6.02 x 1023. It should be a very large number, on the order of 1021.
How many cups in one liter?
There are approximately 4.2 cups in one liter.
