Is carbon monoxide heavier than air?

Answer 1

Molar mass of CO (carbon monoxide) is 12+16 = 28 ,

the mean molar mass of air (20% O2, 80% N2) = 0.20*32 + 0.80*28 = 28.8 thus air is a bit heavier than CO

Answer 2

Yes, carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air. It has a molar mass of 28.01 g/mol, which is less than the average molar mass of air (about 29 g/mol). This causes it to rise and distribute evenly in the atmosphere.

Answer 3

i think carbon monoxide is a component of air

do you mean oxygen?

the comparison between O2 and CO is easy.

What is the Atomic weight of the air we breath?

Answer 4

The difference of densities at 15 0C and 1,013 bar, between air and carbon monoxide is very small; Air - 1,202 g/L; Carbon monoxide (CO) - 1,184 g/L

Answer 5

No. Carbon monoxide is about the same density as air.

Answer 6

It is light than air. Molar mass of airis 29.

Answer 7

Yes, carbon monoxide (1,145 g/L) is a little lighter than air (1,255 g/L).

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

Yes
