Question

What is the mass of one mole of carbon dioxide, CO2? Round your answer to 2 places past the decimal. g/mol

Answer 1

lets get the molecular weight of each element

mw_C = 12.01

mw_O = 16.00

then molecular weight of CO2 is:

12.01 + 16.00*2 =

mw_CO2 = 44.09

Answer 2

Answer: The molar mass of carbon dioxide is 43.99 g/mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Molar mass is defined as the sum of the mass of all the atoms each multiplied its atomic masses that are present in the molecular formula of a compound. It is expressed in g/mol.

We are given a chemical compound having chemical formula
`CO_2`

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen = 15.99 g/mol

Molar mass of
`CO_2=[(1* 12.01)+(2* 15.99)]=43.99g/mol`

Hence, the molar mass of carbon dioxide is 43.99 g/mol
