Correct answer
CA-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
Step-by-step explanation
For A: Molar mass of g/mol. Moles of . Since each molecule has atoms, the number of atoms = .
For B: Molar mass of g/mol. Moles of . Since each molecule has atoms, the number of atoms = .
For C: Molar mass of g/mol. Moles of . The number of atoms = .
For D: Molar mass of g/mol. Moles of . Since each formula unit has atoms, the number of atoms = .
Thus, the correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
Answer: A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
