Question

How many tons of CO2 are in 2 ton-moles of carbon dioxide? O 22 tons O 56 tons O 44 tons O 88 tons

Answer 1

2 ton-moles of carbon dioxide is equal to 88 tons of CO2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of tons of CO2 in 2 ton-moles of carbon dioxide, we need to convert the ton-moles to moles and then to grams of CO2. From there, we can convert grams to tons.

Since one mole of CO2 is equal to 44 grams, 2 ton-moles of CO2 is equal to 2 x 6.022 x 10²³ x 44 grams. To convert grams to tons, we divide the number of grams by 1,000,000.

Therefore, 2 ton-moles of carbon dioxide is equal to 88 tons of CO2.

Answer 2

Answer : The number of tons of
`CO_2` are 88 tons.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of
`CO_2` = 2 ton-moles

Molar mass of
`CO_2` = 44 g/mole

First we have to convert ton-moles to moles.

1 ton = 907185 g

1 ton-moles = 907185 moles

2 ton-moles = 2 × 907185 moles

Now we have to calculate the mass of
`CO_2`.

`\text{Mass of }CO_2=\text{Moles of }CO_2* \text{Molar mass of }CO_2`

`\text{Mass of }CO_2=2* 907185moles* 44g/mole=(2* 907185* 44}g`

Now we have to calculate the mass of
`CO_2` in tons.

1 ton = 907185 g

or,

`1g=(1)/(907185)ton`

So,

`\text{Mass of }CO_2=(2* 907185* 44)g* \frac{1\text{ ton}}{907185g}=88\text{ tons}`

Therefore, the number of tons of
`CO_2` are 88 tons.
