Answer:

Molar mass of CO₂:

12+16×2 = 44 g/mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon dioxide is covalent compound made from carbon and oxygen.

There are one carbon and two oxygen atoms are present on one molecule of carbon dioxide.

The molar mass is the sum of atomic masses of atoms present in a compound.

For example:

CO₂

Carbon atomic mass = 12 g/mol

Oxygen atomic mass = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of CO₂:

12+16×2 = 44 g/mol
