Solution
The correct option is D all have the same no of atoms. Since the given mass is 1 g of each, the number of oxygen atoms = given mass รท molecular mass รNA (i) Given mass of O = 1g, Molar mass of O = 16g No. of O atom in 1 g =116รNA (ii) Given mass of O2 = 1g, Molar mass of O2 = 32g Since, no. of O2 molecule in 1 g =132รNA Therefore, no. of O atom in 1 g of O2 =2ร132รNA=116รNA (iii) Given mass of O3 = 1g, Molar mass of O3 = 48g Similarly, no. of O atom in 1 g of O3 =3ร148รNA=116รNA
