Lesson: Chapter 7 — Quantification of Elements and Compounds

7.4. The mole 3 of 8

Question 3

What is the mass of one mole of oxygen molecules (O2)? (Ar: O = 16)

The right answer is the one marked above.

32 g. The relative molecular mass of O2 is 2 × 16 = 32, so one mole of molecules is 32 g.

16 g is the mass of one mole of oxygen atoms. The question asks about molecules, so the subscript 2 counts — always check "a mole of what".
