Question

How many grarns would 3 moles of carbon dioxide (CO2) weigh? (round to the

nearest whole number)
Your answer

Answer 1

Mass of CO₂ = 132 g

Further explanation

A mole is a number of particles(atoms, molecules, ions) in a substance

This refers to the atomic total of the 12 gr C-12 which is equal to 6.02.10²³, so 1 mole = 6.02.10²³ particles

Can be formulated :

N = n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = 6.02.10²³ = Avogadro's number

mole also can be formulated :

`\tt n=(mass)/(MW)`

moles of CO₂ = 3

mass of CO₂(MW=44.01 g/mol) :

`\tt mass=mol* MW\\\\mass=3* 44.01\\\\mass=132.03~g\approx 132~g`
