Which of the following gas samples contains the same number of molecules as 3.4 g3.4\text{ g} of ammonia (NH3\mathrm{NH}_3)?

Options

  1. A3.4 g3.4\text{ g} of H2S\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{S}
  2. B8.0 g8.0\text{ g} of O2\mathrm{O}_2
  3. C12.8 g12.8\text{ g} of SO2\mathrm{SO}_2
  4. D4.4 g4.4\text{ g} of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2

Correct answer

C. 12.8 g12.8\text{ g} of SO2\mathrm{SO}_2

Step-by-step solution

Molar mass of NH3=14+3=17 g/mol\mathrm{NH}_3 = 14 + 3 = 17\text{ g/mol}

Number of moles of NH3=3.417=0.2 mol\mathrm{NH}_3 = \dfrac{3.4}{17} = 0.2\text{ mol}

Number of molecules is directly proportional to the number of moles. We check the number of moles for each option:

For H2S\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{S}, molar mass =34 g/mol= 34\text{ g/mol}. Moles =3.434=0.1 mol= \dfrac{3.4}{34} = 0.1\text{ mol}

For O2\mathrm{O}_2, molar mass =32 g/mol= 32\text{ g/mol}. Moles =8.032=0.25 mol= \dfrac{8.0}{32} = 0.25\text{ mol}

For SO2\mathrm{SO}_2, molar mass =64 g/mol= 64\text{ g/mol}. Moles =12.864=0.2 mol= \dfrac{12.8}{64} = 0.2\text{ mol}

For CO2\mathrm{CO}_2, molar mass =44 g/mol= 44\text{ g/mol}. Moles =4.444=0.1 mol= \dfrac{4.4}{44} = 0.1\text{ mol}

Since 12.8 g12.8\text{ g} of SO2\mathrm{SO}_2 has 0.2 mol0.2\text{ mol}, it contains the same number of molecules as 3.4 g3.4\text{ g} of NH3\mathrm{NH}_3.

Answer: 12.8 g12.8\text{ g} of SO2\mathrm{SO}_2
