Question

Weight of one mole of carbon = 12.01 g

Answer 1

28.01 g/mol is the answer for carbon monoxide (CO)

Answer 2

Answer : The molecular weight of $CO$ is, 28.01 g/mole

Explanation : Given,

Weight of one mole of carbon = 12.01 g

or, Atomic weight of carbon = 12.01 g/mole

Weight of one mole of oxygen = 16.00 g

or, Atomic weight of oxygen = 16.00 g/mole

Molecular weight : It is defined as the sum of the atomic weight of the element present in the molecule.

The molecular weight of CO = Atomic weight of carbon + Atomic weight of oxygen

The molecular weight of CO = 12.01 g/mole + 16.00 g/mole

The molecular weight of CO = 28.01 g/mole

Therefore, the molecular weight of $CO$ is, 28.01 g/mole
