Which gas among the following contains maximum number of molecules at STP? (Molar masses in
\(\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{CO}_{2}=44, \mathrm{Ar}=39 \cdot 9, \mathrm{CH}_{4}=16,\) \(\mathrm{O}_{2}=32\))

  1. A \(24 \cdot 0 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\)
  2. B \(16 \cdot 0 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\)
  3. C \(13 \cdot 3 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{Ar}\)
  4. D \(11 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(16 \cdot 0 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

i. \(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{Ar}}=\frac{13.3}{39.9}=0.33 \mathrm{~mol}\)
ii. \(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{O}_{2}}=\frac{24}{32}=0.75 \mathrm{~mol}\)
iii. \(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{CO}_{2}}=\frac{11}{44}=0.25 \mathrm{~mol}\)
iv. \(n_{\mathrm{CH}}=\frac{16}{16}=1 \mathrm{~mol}\)
\(\therefore\) Maximum no. of moles \(=\) Maximum no. of molecules.
