Solution

The correct option is B

32g


  • Molecular mass of a substance is the total mass of all the atoms present in that substance .
  • The unit of atomic mass and molecular mass is 'u'" (unified mass).
  • The Mole is the same amount of substance that contains the same number of particles ( atoms, ions, molecules etc) as there are atoms in 12g 0f carbon atom
  • The mass of one mole of a substance is equal to its relative atomic mass or molecular mass in grams..
  • It is also called molar mass.

Explanation for correct answer

  • Atomic mass of one atom oxygen is 16u.
  • The molecular mass of oxygen molecule (O2) is (16x2 ) = 32u.
  • The gram molecular mass means the molecular mass expressed in gram.
  • Therefore,the gram molecular mass of oxygen is 32g.
