Weight of one mole of carbon = 12.01 g Weight of one mole of oxygen = 16.00 g The molecular weight (gram formula weight) for CO is ?
A. 3.99
B. 192.16
C. 28
D. 28.01

Respuesta :

Answer:

28.01g

Explanation:

Given the weight of one mole of Cabon as 12.01g and that of oxygen as 16.00g.

The molecular weight of a compound can be gotten by adding the molar weights of the elements that constitutes the compound .

The molecular weight of the compound CO is therefore

equal to the sum of the weight of both elements.

That’s = 12.01g + 16.00g

= 28.01g

Therefore, the molecular weight of CO is 28.01g
