UPCAT Science practice question 24: What is the molar mass of CO₂? Use C = 12 g/mol and O = 16 g/mol.
Correct answer
B. 44 g/mol
12 + 2(16) = 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol.
The question
What is the molar mass of CO₂? Use C = 12 g/mol and O = 16 g/mol.
- Option A: 28 g/mol
- Option B: 44 g/molCorrect
- Option C: 32 g/mol
- Option D: 56 g/mol
Why B is correct
12 + 2(16) = 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol.
