Detailed Solution

The ideal gas equation is PV=nRT=mMRT

Here,  is the molecular weight and m is the mass.

The volume, mass, and temperature are the same for oxygen and nitrogen.

As a result, the relationship between their pressures and molecular weights is inverse.

Nitrogen's molecular weight (28) is lower than oxygen's (32).

As a result, the nitrogen flask has a higher pressure than the oxygen flask.
