Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 32. (c)
Solution:
- $\frac{\text { Weight of a compound in gram }(w)}{\text { Molar mass }(M)}=$ Number of moles $(n)$
$\begin{aligned} & =\frac{\text { Number of molecules }(N)}{\text { Avogadro number }\left(N_A\right)} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{w\left(\mathrm{O}_2\right)}{32} & =\frac{N\left(\mathrm{O}_2\right)}{N_A} \hspace {10mm}…(i) \end{aligned}$
