Consider the following five samples of substances:
A. 88 g of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2
B. 96 g of O2\mathrm{O}_2
C. 34 g of NH3\mathrm{NH}_3
D. 36 g of H2O\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}
E. 40 g of Ne\mathrm{Ne}

Which of the given samples contain an identical total number of atoms?
(Given atomic masses in u\mathrm{u}: H=1\mathrm{H}=1, C=12\mathrm{C}=12, N=14\mathrm{N}=14, O=16\mathrm{O}=16, Ne=20\mathrm{Ne}=20)

Options

  1. AA, C and D only
  2. BA, B and D only
  3. CA, D and E only
  4. DB, C and E only

Correct answer

B. A, B and D only

Step-by-step solution

Molar mass of CO2=12+2×16=44 g/mol\mathrm{CO}_2 = 12 + 2 \times 16 = 44 \text{ g/mol}
Moles of CO2=8844=2 moles\mathrm{CO}_2 = \dfrac{88}{44} = 2 \text{ moles}
Total atoms in A =2×3×NA=6NA= 2 \times 3 \times N_A = 6 N_A

Molar mass of O2=2×16=32 g/mol\mathrm{O}_2 = 2 \times 16 = 32 \text{ g/mol}
Moles of O2=9632=3 moles\mathrm{O}_2 = \dfrac{96}{32} = 3 \text{ moles}
Total atoms in B =3×2×NA=6NA= 3 \times 2 \times N_A = 6 N_A

Molar mass of NH3=14+3×1=17 g/mol\mathrm{NH}_3 = 14 + 3 \times 1 = 17 \text{ g/mol}
Moles of NH3=3417=2 moles\mathrm{NH}_3 = \dfrac{34}{17} = 2 \text{ moles}
Total atoms in C =2×4×NA=8NA= 2 \times 4 \times N_A = 8 N_A

Molar mass of H2O=2×1+16=18 g/mol\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O} = 2 \times 1 + 16 = 18 \text{ g/mol}
Moles of H2O=3618=2 moles\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O} = \dfrac{36}{18} = 2 \text{ moles}
Total atoms in D =2×3×NA=6NA= 2 \times 3 \times N_A = 6 N_A

Molar mass of Ne=20 g/mol\mathrm{Ne} = 20 \text{ g/mol}
Moles of Ne=4020=2 moles\mathrm{Ne} = \dfrac{40}{20} = 2 \text{ moles}
Total atoms in E =2×1×NA=2NA= 2 \times 1 \times N_A = 2 N_A

Samples A, B, and D contain an identical total number of atoms (6NA6 N_A).

Answer: A, B and D only
