Answer: 9.68 x 10^10 grams.

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of CO2 = ?

Number of molecules of CO2 = 2.2x10^9 molecules

Molar mass of CO2 = ? (let unknown value be Z)

For the molar mass of CO2: Atomic mass of Carbon = 12; Oxygen = 16

= 12 + (16 x 2)

= 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Apply the formula:

Number of molecules = (Mass of CO2 in grams/Molar mass)

2.2x10^9 molecules = Z/44g/mol

Z = 2.2x10^9 molecules x 44g/mol

Z = 9.68 x 10^10g

Thus, the mass of 2.2x10^9 molecules of CO2 is 9.68 x 10^10 grams.

A visual representation of covalent bonding which represents the valence shell electrons in the molecule is said to be a Lewis structure. The lines represents the shared electron pairs and dots represents the electrons that are not involved in the bonding i.e lone pairs.

Number of valence electrons in each atom:
