Which of the following pair of gases possesses equal volume at STP:

Correct answer: D. 0.5 mole of NO and 16 g O2

  • A. 44g CO2 and 44g CO
  • B. 16g O2 and 32g CH4
  • C. 3.01 x 10^23 molecules of CO and 3.01 x 10^23 gram molecules of H2
  • D. 0.5 mole of NO and 16 g O2

Explanation

Equal volumes of all ideal gases at same temperature and pressure contain equal number of moles and molecules. Both 0.5 mole of NO and 16 g (0.5 mole) O2 have same number of moles. Therefore, they have equal volume at STP.
