1.	Name a greenhouse gas with molar mass 44 g mol–1 and is known to extinguish fire.[Given, atomic masses of C = 12 u, O = 16 u, NA = 6.022 × 1023 per mole
Answer» Carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and is used to extinguish fire. The molar mass of CO₂ is: Atomic mass of C + 2 × (Atomic mass of oxygen) ⇒ 12 + 2×16 ⇒ 44g/mol

Name a greenhouse gas with molar mass 44 g mol–1 and is known to extinguish fire.[Given, atomic masses of C = 12 u, O = 16 u, NA = 6.022 × 1023 per mole

Answer»

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and is used to

extinguish fire.

The molar mass of CO₂ is:

Atomic mass of C + 2 × (Atomic mass of oxygen)

⇒ 12 + 2×16

⇒ 44g/mol
