Question

How much mass does 1 mol of O2 gas have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A.

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.
