Question

The molar mass of carbon dioxide, CO2 , and molecular oxygen, O2 , are 44 g and 32 g respectively. Which statement is true?

At STP, a mole of CO2 occupies more volume than a mole of O2

A mole of CO2 contains more molecules than a mole of O2

A mole of CO2 is heavier than a mole of O2

A mole of CO2 react with a mole of O2

1.

At STP, a mole of CO2 occupies more volume than a mole of O2

2.

A mole of CO2 contains more molecules than a mole of O2

3.

A mole of CO2 is heavier than a mole of O2

4.

A mole of CO2 react with a mole of O2

Explanation / Answer

Density = mass / volume

One mole of carbon dioxide 44 g occupies 22.4 L at STP

One mole of oxygen 32 g occupies 22.4 L at STP

Density of CO2 = 44 g / 22400 cm3 = 1.96 x 10-3 g/cm3

Density of O2 = 32 g / 22400 cm3 = 1.43 x 10-3 g/cm3

therefore answer is 3

A mole of CO2 is heavier than a mole of O2
