Given below are two statements: Statement-I : A molecule of butane,...
Given below are two statements:
Statement-I : A molecule of butane, (\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_{10}) has a mass of 58 amu.
Statement-II : One mole of butane contains (6.022 \times 10^{23}) molecules and has a mass of 58 g. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- AStatement-I is correct while II is incorrect.
- BStatement-I and II both are correct.
- CBoth Statement-I and II are incorrect.
- DStatement-I is incorrect and II is correct.
Correct answer
B. Statement-I and II both are correct.
Step-by-step solution
Statement-I:
"A molecule of butane, (\mathrm{C}}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{10}), has a mass of 58 amu."
- The molecular mass of butane ((\mathrm{C}}_{4} )) is calculated by summing up the atomic masses of carbon and hydrogen:
Statement-II:
"One mole of butane contains (6.022 10^{23}) molecules and has a mass of 58 g."
- One mole of any substance contains (6.022 10^{23}) (Avogadro's number) molecules, which is correct.
- The molar mass of butane is 58 grams per mole, so one mole of butane weighs 58 grams.
