SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (6).

Explanation:

A molecule is group of atoms of same or different kinds of element.

In carbon monoxide there is a single carbon atom and single oxygen atom. Hence, a molecule.

Compound is defined as a chemical specie which is made by the combination of different atoms.

As we can see from the chemical formula of carbon monoxide is made up of two atom of different elements that is carbon and oxygen.

A pure substance is defined as the substance which is formed by same or different type of atoms which are chemically combined in a fixed ratio by mass. They have definite set of properties.

$C+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow CO$

A chemist determines by measurements that 0.0200 moles of chlorine gas participate in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of

Schach [20]

Answer:

1.4200 g

Explanation:

The chlorine gas has a molecular formula Cl2. In table periodic, the molar mass of one atom of chlorine is 35.5 g/mol, so the molar mass of Cl2 is 71 g/mol.

Molar mass, mass and number of moles are related by the equation below:

$n = \frac{m}{MM}$
