Question

What is the mass of 2.5 moles of carbon dioxide?

Answer 1

Answer:

110 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

CO2 molecule is made up of Carbon (atomic mass =12) and oxygen (atomic mass=16).

So first finding the mass of 1 molecule of CO2 which is equals to

= mass of 1 carbon atom + masses of 2 oxygen atom, we get

= 12+(16*2)= 12+32= 44 a.m.u.

Now 1 molecule of CO2 has mass 44 amu so mass of 1 mole CO2 will be 44 grams.( 1 a.m.u.=1.6729*10^-33 grams. 1 mole = 6.022*10^23, so 44 a.m.u.=73.6076*10^-33 grams approx. For one mole CO2, 73.6076*10^-33*6.022*10^23 which is approximately equals to 44 grams. )

1 mole CO2= 44grams, so 2.5 moles = 44*2.5= 110 grams

So our answer is 110 grams.

lowkey hope this helped you, good luck whatever you need it for Imaooo
