Solution

The correct option is B False
Step-1: Calculate the molecular weight of Sulphur dioxide
The gram atomic weight of Sulphur=32 gm
The gram atomic weight of Oxygen= 16 gm
The gram molecular weight of Sulphur dioxide (SO₂)= Gram atomic weight of Sulphur+ 2(Gram atomic weight of Oxygen)
The gram molecular weight of Sulphur dioxide (SO₂)= 32gm + 2(16gm)
The gram molecular weight of Sulphur dioxide (SO₂)= 64 gm
Step-2: Calculate the number of molecules
64 g of Sulphur dioxide contain molecules of Sulphur dioxide= $6.023 \times 10^{23}$
1 g of Sulphur dioxide contains molecules of Sulphur dioxide= $\frac{6.023 \times 10^{23}}{64}$
16 g of Sulphur dioxide contain molecules of Sulphur dioxide= $\frac{6.023 \times 10^{23}}{64} \times 16 = 1.5 \times 10^{23}$
Therefore, the given statement is false.
