  • Gases Heavier Than Oxygen: A Comprehensive List
    Here are some gases heavier than oxygen (O2, molecular weight 32 g/mol):

    Common Gases:

    * Carbon dioxide (CO2): Molecular weight 44 g/mol

    * Sulfur dioxide (SO2): Molecular weight 64 g/mol

    * Argon (Ar): Molecular weight 40 g/mol

    * Krypton (Kr): Molecular weight 84 g/mol

    * Xenon (Xe): Molecular weight 131 g/mol

    * Radon (Rn): Molecular weight 222 g/mol

    Other Gases:

    * Chlorine (Cl2): Molecular weight 71 g/mol

    * Hydrogen sulfide (H2S): Molecular weight 34 g/mol

    * Ammonia (NH3): Molecular weight 17 g/mol

    * Methane (CH4): Molecular weight 16 g/mol (lighter than oxygen, but denser than air)

    Note:

    * The weight of a gas is measured in grams per mole (g/mol).

    * "Heavier" refers to the density of the gas, which depends on its molecular weight and temperature.

    * The density of a gas is proportional to its molecular weight, meaning heavier molecules will generally result in a denser gas.
