Answer:
B) 14g of nitrogen
Explanation:
To calculate number of molecules in 9g of water, we first convert mass to mole by using mole = mass/molar mass i.e.
mole = 9g/18g/mol of water
mole = 0.5mol
Next, we multiply by 6.022 × 10^23 molecules to get 3.011 × 10^23 molecules in 9g of water (H2O).
- For hydrogen gas: Molar Mass = 2g/mol, mass = 2g
mole = 2/2 = 1
No. of molecules = 1 × 6.022 × 10^23 = 6.022 × 10^23 molecules.
- For Nitrogen gas: Molar Mass = 28g/mol, mass = 14g
mole = 14/28 = 0.5mol
No. of molecules = 0.5 × 6.022 × 10^23 = 3.011 × 10^23 molecules.
- For Oxygen gas: Molar Mass = 32g/mol, mass = 32g
mole = 32/32 = 1mol
No. of molecules = 1 × 6.022 × 10^23 = 6.022 × 10^23 molecules.
- For carbondioxide gas: Molar Mass = 44g/mol, mass = 44g
mole = 44/44 = 1mol
No. of molecules = 1 × 6.022 × 10^23 = 6.022 × 10^23 molecules.
Based on he results of each calculation, NITROGEN contains the same number of molecules as 9g of water
