Which of the following gases is lighter than air ?

  • A.Oxygen
  • B.Carbon dioxide
  • C.Chlorine
  • D.Ammonia

Answer: D

Ammonia is lighter than air. Its molar mass is 17 g/mol against the average 29 g/mol of air.

Oxygen (32), carbon dioxide (44) and chlorine (71) are all heavier, which is why carbon dioxide can be poured to smother a flame and chlorine settles in low ground.
