Question

Convert from grams to moles for 36g CO2

Answer 1

Answer:

0.82 moles CO₂

Explanation:

To convert from grams to moles, you need to find the molar mass of CO₂. This conversion is a ratio stating the amount of grams CO₂ per 1 mole. The molar mass is calculated using the molar mass of each element (in CO₂) from the periodic table.

Molar Mass (Carbon): 12.011 g/mol

Molar Mass (Oxygen): 15.998 g/mol

Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol

36 grams CO₂               1 mole
----------------------  x  --------------------------  = 0.82 moles CO₂
                                 44.007 grams
