Question

You have two balloons. One is filled with 27.0 grams of CO and the other is filled with 27.0 grams of carbon dioxide . Which balloon has more particles present?

Answer 1

The lower molar mass the more particle for the same mass
hence, `CO` particles is more..

Explanation:

`"no. of mol" = "mass"/"molar mass"`

`"no. of CO" = (27 g) / (28 gmol^-1)`

`color(white)(xxxxxx)= 0.9643 mol`

`"no. of"color(white)x CO_2 = (27 g) / (44 gmol^-1)`

`color(white)(xxxxxx) = 0.6136 mol`

Since `mol` represents number of particles, so `CO` particles is more than `CO_2` particles
