What will be the weight of CO having the same number of oxygen atoms a...
No. of O atoms in CO2 = 2
Molar mass of CO2 = 44 g
44 g = 1 mol ⇒ 22 g = 0.5 mol
1 mole of CO2 contains = 2 x 6.023 x 1023 O atoms
0.5 mole of CO2 = 6.023 x 1023 O atoms
1 mole of CO = 6.023 x 1023 O atoms
Mass of 1 mole of CO = 12 + 16 = 28 g

What will be the weight of CO having the same number of oxygen atoms a...
Given:
Mass of CO2 = 22 g
We need to find the weight of CO having the same number of oxygen atoms as present in 22 g of CO2.
Step-by-step solution:
1. Find the number of oxygen atoms in 22 g of CO2.
We know that the molar mass of CO2 is 44 g/mol (12 g/mol + 2 x 16 g/mol).
So, the number of moles of CO2 in 22 g can be calculated as:
n(CO2) = mass/molar mass = 22 g/44 g/mol = 0.5 mol
In one mole of CO2, there are 2 oxygen atoms.
So, in 0.5 mol of CO2, the number of oxygen atoms can be calculated as:
Number of oxygen atoms = 0.5 mol x 2 = 1 mol
Therefore, there is 1 mole of oxygen atoms in 22 g of CO2.
2. Find the weight of CO with the same number of oxygen atoms.
Now, we need to find the weight of CO with 1 mole of oxygen atoms.
In one mole of CO, there is 1 oxygen atom.
So, to get 1 mole of oxygen atoms, we need 1 mole of CO.
Therefore, the weight of CO with the same number of oxygen atoms as present in 22 g of CO2 will be equal to the molar mass of CO, which is 28 g/mol (12 g/mol + 16 g/mol).
Hence, the correct option is (a) 28 g.
