Show a correct numerical setup for calculating the

Answer 1

0.25 moles of CO2 is present in 11 grams of CO2.

Explanation:

A mole represents the number of chemical entities in an element or molecule.

Number of moles of an element or molecule is determined by the formula:

The Number of moles (n) = weight of the atom given  ÷ atomic or molecular weight of the one mole of the element or molecule.

Themolar mass of one mole of carbon dioxide is:

12+ ( 16×2)

= 44 gram/mole

The given weight is 44 grams of carbon dioxide.

Putting the values in the equation,

n= 11 gms÷44 gms/ mole

n   = 0.25 mole
