Question 37

Relative atomic masses: H=1\mathrm{H} = 1H=1, C=12\mathrm{C} = 12C=12, N=14\mathrm{N} = 14N=14, O=16\mathrm{O} = 16O=16, S=32\mathrm{S} = 32S=32. The Avogadro constant is 6.02×1023 mol−16.02\times10^{23}\,\mathrm{mol^{-1}}6.02×1023mol−1.

Statement 1: The mass of one mole of sulfur dioxide molecules, SO2\mathrm{SO_{2}}SO2​, is 32 g.

Statement 2: There are equal numbers of molecules in 17 g of ammonia, NH3\mathrm{NH_{3}}NH3​, and 14 g of carbon monoxide, CO\mathrm{CO}CO.

Statement 3: A sample containing 8.5 g of ammonia contains 1.204 × 1024 atoms in total.
