What is the approximate molecular mass of dry air containing 78% `N_(2)` and 22% `O_(2)` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the approximate molecular mass of dry air containing 78% nitrogen (N₂) and 22% oxygen (O₂), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the molecular mass of nitrogen (N₂) - Nitrogen (N) has an atomic mass of approximately 14 g/mol. - Since N₂ has two nitrogen atoms, its molecular mass is calculated as: \[ \text{Molecular mass of } N_2 = 2 \times 14 = 28 \text{ g/mol} \] ...
