Question

Calculate the molecular mass of carbon monoxide (CO) by adding the atomic mass of carbon (C) and the atomic mass of oxygen (O): *

Answer 1

 The   molecular   mass  of carbon monoxide (CO)  is  28 g/mol

   calculation

The  molecular  mass  of CO =  atomic mass  of C + atomic  mass  of O

From  periodic table the atomic  mass  of  C = 12 g/mol and for O = 16 g/mol

Therefore the molecular  mass   of Co = 12 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 28 g/mol
