Question

Air has three major components: nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. Given that one mole of air at sea level is mole up of 78 nitrogen, 21 oxygen, and 1 argon, by volume. What is the density of air? Assume that gases behave in an ideal manner. (Atomic mass of argon is 40amu)
  1. 1.29
  2. 1.98
  3. 1.6
  4. 2.3

A
1.6
B
1.29
C
1.98
D
2.3
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is A 1.29
1 mole of sample of air, means total volume= 22.4l
0.78 mol N2=21.84gm N2
0.21 mol O2=6.72gm O2
0.01 mol Ar=0.4gm Ar
Total mass= 28.96gm
Density= 28.9622.4=1.29gm/lit .
