Solution

The correct option is C 0.80
The mass of 1 mole of a gas is equal to its molecular weight.
Thus 8 grams of oxygen correspond to 832=0.25 moles of oxygen.

At STP, 1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L.
Thus 11.2 L of carbon dioxide corresponds to 11.222.4=0.5 moles.

1 mole of gas contains Avogadro number of molecules which is equal to 6.02×1023.
Thus 3×1022 molecules of nitrogen corresponds to 3×10226×1023=0.05 moles.

Thus the total number of moles present is 0.25+0.5+0.05=0.80.

Hence, option C is correct.
