A 32.8 g sample of gas occupies 22.414 L at STP. What is the molecular weight of this gas?
1 answer:
Answer:
32.8g/mole
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of sample of gas = 32.8g
Volume = 22.4L
Unknown:
Molecular weight = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem we must understand that at rtp;
1 mole of gas occupies a volume of 22.4L
Number of mole of the gas = 1 mole
Now;
Mass = number of moles x molecular weight
molecular weight = =
= 32.8g/mole

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
An ion is defined as a specie which is formed when a neutral atoms tends to gain or lose an electron.
When a neutral atom gain an electron then it forms a negative ion whereas when a neutral atom tends to lose an electron then it forms a positive ion.
For example, a neutral fluorine atom on gaining an electron will form ion. And, a sodium atom on losing an electron forms
ion.
When a group of atoms form ions then it tends to form polyatomic ions.
Thus, we can conclude that group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called a polyatomic ion.
