Answer

(a) No. of moles of oxygen atoms = 12.044×10236.022×1023\dfrac{12.044 \times 10^{23}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} = 2 moles

Mass of oxygen atoms = no. of moles x atomic mass

= 2 x 16 = 32 g.

∴ The mass of 12.044 x 1023 oxygen atoms is 32 grams.

(b) Gram molecular mass of ethylene (C2H4) = 2(12) + 4(1) = 24 + 4 = 28 g

Vapour density = Molecular weight2\dfrac{\text{Molecular weight}}{2} = 282\dfrac{28}{2} = 14

Hence, vapour density is 14
