Question
If the reactant carbon is combined with reactant oxygen to form the product carbon dioxide, then what will be the atomic mass of the product?
- 44 grams
- 32 grams
- 64 grams
- 28 grams
Hint:
Molecular mass is the sum of atomic masses multiplied by a number of atoms.
The correct answer is: 44 grams
- If the reactant carbon is combined with reactant oxygen to form the product carbon dioxide, then the atomic mass of the product is 44 grams.
- As we know molecular mass is calculated as the sum total of atomic mass multiplied by the number of atoms in the molecule.
- The atomic mass of carbon is 12 grams and that of oxygen is 16 grams. When carbon combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide which means it forms a CO2. Thus, by normal mathematic calculation, we get 12 + 16 X 2 = 44 grams.
Molecular mass is measured as an atomic mass unit or Dalton.
