Question

Given that the density of air is 14.4, then the vapour of sulphur IV oxide is A. 16 B. 32 C. 64 D. 128

Thank you.

Answer 1

32

Step-by-step explanation:

The vapour density of a gas is the number of times a given volume of gas or vapour is as heavy as the same volume of hydrogen at a particular temperature and pressure.

Vapour density = 2 × relative molecular mass of the gas or vapour

Relative molecular mass of SO2 = 32 + 2(16) = 64

Hence;

Vapour density of SO2 = 64/2

Vapour density of SO2 = 32
