Statement 1 : One mole of `SO_(2)` contains the same number of molecules present in one mole of `O_(2).`
Statement 2 : Molecular weight of `SO_(2)` is double to that of `O_(2)`

Options

A. Statement 1 is True, statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is Correct explanation for Statement 1.
B. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement 1.
C. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False.
D. Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True.

Answer

B

Explanation

One mole of any substance corresponds to `6. 02 xx 10 ^(23)` entities irrespective of its weight.
Molar mass of `SO _(2) = 32 + 2 xx 16 = 64 g mol ^(-1),` Molar mass of `O _(2) =2 xx 16 = 32 g mol ^(-1)`
Therefore, molar mass of `SO_(2)` is double to that of `O _(2).`
