Verify by calculating that

Answer:

(a) CO_{2} has molar mass = 44g mol^{-1}
5 moles of CO_{2} have molar mass = 44 \times 5 = 220 g
H_{2}O has molar mass = 18 g mol^{-1}
5 moles of H_{2}O have mass = 18 \times 5 g = 90 g

Hence, they do not have same mass. 
(b) Number of moles in 240g Ca metal =\frac{240}{40} = 6

Number of moles in 240g of Mg metal =\frac{240}{24} = 10
Ratio 6:10 = 3: 5
