Question

How much mass does 1 mol of O2 gas have?

O A. 16.00 x 2g
O B. 16.00 x (6.02 x 10^23) g
C. 2 x (6.02 x 10^23) g
D. 16.00 g

Answer 1

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mol of anything contains 6.02×10²³ particles.

We know that 1 mol of oxygen gas contains 2 moles of O.

1 mol of oxygen weighs 16 g/mol, the mass for 1 molecule of O.

By the way, the mass for 1 mol of O₂ may be:

Option A → 16 g/mol . 2 mol

32 g

Oyxgen is a dyatomic molecule, that's why we have 2 moles of O.

Another example can be:

1 mol of water (H₂O) contains 2 moles of H and 1 mol of O.
