First you need to know how many moles you would get from 165 g of carbon dioxide. Carbon = 12 Oxygen 2 = 16 x 2 = 32 Total: 32 + 12 = 44 - Use proportions 1 mol CO2 x 1 mol CO2 44 g ---------------- = ---------- or ----------------- = ---------- 44 g 165 x 165 g
165/44 = 3.75 moles CO2 - Last step is to multiply the amount of moles by Avagadros number, 6.02 x 10^23 3.75 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 2.25 x 10^24 molecules
- Keep in mind if your answer can be a little different than mind if you either round or keep the same numbers. I hope this Really Helps ! c:
<span>Here is the order of steps you take to figure out this question: First you need to know how many moles you would get from 165 g of carbon dioxide. You do that by doing: Carbon = 12 Oxygen 2 = 16 x 2 = 32 Total: 32 + 12 = 44
-Next you have to use proportions 1 mol CO2 x 1 mol CO2 44 g ---------------- = ---------- or ----------------- = ---------- 44 g 165 x 165 g
165/44 = 3.75 moles CO2
- Last step is to multiply the amount of moles by Avogadro's number, 6.02 x 10^23 3.75 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 2.25 x 10^24 molecules
One mole is the Avogadro's number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions or electrons) in a substance. Converting to moles is fairly easy because the conversion is always the same.
