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 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.
