Which one of the following has maximum number of atoms of oxygen?

  1. A \(2 \mathrm{~g}\) of carbon monoxide
  2. B \(2 \mathrm{~g}\) of carbon dioxide
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{~g}\) of sulphur dioxide
  4. D \(2 \mathrm{~g}\) of water
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2 \mathrm{~g}\) of water

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Number of oxygen atom in \(2 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{CO}\)
\[
=\frac{2}{28} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 1
\]
Number of oxygen atom in \(2 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
\[
=\frac{2}{44} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 2
\]
Number of oxygen atom in \(2 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\)
\[
=\frac{2}{64} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 2
\]
Number of oxygen atom in \(2 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
\[
=\frac{2}{18} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 1
\]
Hence, \(2 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) has maximum number of atoms of oxyen.
