Best Answer

The only diatomic 'GAS' with molecular mass of 160 a.m.u. (molar mass=160 g/mole)

COULD be:

Bromine (Br2, 159.8 a.m.u.) at a temperature above 58.8 °C (boiling point at 1 atm. pressure)

At room temperature ( = at 'STP') however this is a LIQUID.

(So I wonder if the questioner really was'well' informed when formulating this question, I'm curious about this!)

It is Bromine having Atomic Mass 80 a.m.u but it is a volatile red liquid at room temperature.

Bromine (Br2), although at room temperature, this would be a liquid.

What element forms a diatomic gas with a mass of 160 amu?

Bromine (Br) has a molar mass of 79.904 amu (atomic mass units), which is extremely close to 80. Bromine is diatomic so when two bromine molecules are put together to create a diatomic gas, the molar masses of each bromine add to get a combined molar mass of 160 amu.

What is heavier damp air or dry air?

Dry air is "heavier" than moist air, that is, it is denser. The water molecules in humid air do not fit in between "air" molecules (diatomic nitrogen and oxygen in a 79:21 ratio), they replace them, as per Avogardo's number of molecules in a mole of a gas. One molecule of diatomic nitrogen has a mass of 32 AMU and of diatomic oxygen, 28 AMU. A water molecule only has a mass of 16 AMU. Don't believe it? Think about it: a high pressure system is dry air and is higher pressure because it is a sinking air mass. It sinks because it is heavier.
