Detailed Solution

In ZnO: At. wt. of Zn=65 amu x 1.66x10-24g1 amux 6.023 x 1023=65 g

                                                    1amu=1.66×1024g

At. wt. of oxygen, O=16amu×1.66×1024g1amu×6.023 x 1023=16 g

  Mol. wt. of ZnO=At. wt. of Zn + at. wt. of O=65+16=81 g mol-

Thus the correct answer is (c).
