Answer:
1.181 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Using Dimensional Analysis
- Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
86.34 g CO₂
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversion</u>
Avogadro's Number
Molar Mass of C - 12.01 g/mol
Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol
Molar Mass of CO₂ - 12.01 + 2(16.00) = 44.01 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Convert</u>
<u /> = 1.18141 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂
<u>Step 4: Check</u>
<em>We are given 4 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>
1.18141 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂ ≈ 1.181 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂
