Question

Calculate the molecular mass of
a) sulphur dioxide gas
B) nitrogen gas
C) hydrogen chloride gas

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,
Molecular mass is calculated by summing up the individual masses of the atoms.
For:

SO₂ = S + 2O = 32 + 2x16 = 64 u

N₂ = 2 x N = 2 x 14 = 28 u

HCl = H + Cl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 u
