Question
What is the mass of a water molecule in kilograms? What is the mass of an average air molecule in kilograms?
Step 1
The atomic mass of hydrogen (H) is approximately 1 gram/mole and the atomic mass of oxygen (O) is approximately 16 grams/mole. Therefore, the molecular mass of water is calculated as follows: \[2 \times 1 + 16 = 18 \, \text{grams/mole}\] Show more…
