Which of the following statement is wrong?

Correct answer: D. One mole of nitrogen and half a mole of oxygen weigh the same.

  • A. One mole of hydrogen weighs less than one mole of glucose.
  • B. Two moles of hydrogen and one mole of helium weigh the same.
  • C. 0.1 mole of oxygen weighs more than one mole of hydrogen.
  • D. One mole of nitrogen and half a mole of oxygen weigh the same.

Explanation

One mole of nitrogen (N2) has a molar mass of 28.01 g/mol, while half a mole of oxygen (O2) has a molar mass of 15.01 g/mol. Therefore, one mole of nitrogen weighs more than half a mole of oxygen.
