Question

How many molecules are in 4.5 moles of CO2?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.71 × 10^24 molecules

Explanation:

We are given;

Moles of CO₂ as 4.5 moles

We are required to determine the number of molecules

From the Avogadro's constant;

1 mole of a molecular compound contains 6.022 × 10^23 molecules

Therefore;

Molecules of CO₂ = Moles of CO₂ × Avogadro's constant

That is;  

               = 4.5 moles × 6.022 × 10^23 molecules/mole

               = 2.71 × 10^24 molecules

Hence, 4.5 moles of CO₂ contains 2.71 × 10^24 molecules
