Question

Atmospheric air has 78% N;21; 0.9 % Ar and 0.1 % CO2 via way of means of volume. What is the molecular mass of air within the atmosphere?

  1. 29
  2. 25
  3. 30
  4. 20

hintHint:

Atomic mass of N2  is 28g, O2 is 32g,  Ar is 36g, molecular mass of CO2 is 44g.

The correct answer is: 29


    Atmospheric air has 78% N;21; 0.9 % Ar and 0.1 % CO2 via way of means of volume. 
    Atomic mass of N2  is 28g, O2 is 32g,  Ar is 36g, molecular mass of CO2 is 44g.
    The molecular mass of air within the atmosphere = 0.78cross times28 + 0.21cross times32 + 0.009cross times36 + 0.001cross times44 
                                                                                   = 21.84 + 6.72 + 0.324 + 0.044 = 28.928 asymptotically equal to 29
