Weight of one mole of carbon = 12.01 g Weight of one mole of oxygen = 16.00 g The molecular weight (gram formula weight) for CO is?

A. 3.99

B. 192.16

C. 28

D. 28.01

28.01g

Explanation:

Given the weight of one mole of Cabon as 12.01g and that of oxygen as 16.00g.

The molecular weight of a compound can be gotten by adding the molar weights of the elements that constitutes the compound.

The molecular weight of the compound CO is therefore

equal to the sum of the weight of both elements.

That's = 12.01g + 16.00g

= 28.01g

Therefore, the molecular weight of CO is 28.01g
