Question

Calculate the molecular masses
O2​

Answer 1

Answer:

32 g Molecular Mass

16 + 16 = 32 g

Answer 2

Molecular mass is obtained by multiplying the atomic mass of an element with the number of atoms in the molecule and then adding the masses of all the elements in the molecule. O2 is a diatomic molecule. The mass of an oxygen atom = 16 amu. ∴ Mass of O2 molecule = 2 × 16 = 32 amu.
