Question

What would be the mass, in grams, of 1.806 x 1024 molecules of carbon monoxide

Answer 1

Explanations:

The formula for calculating the mass of a substance is expressed as:

`\text{mass of CO=mole }* molar\text{ mass}`

Given the following parameter;

molecules of CO = 1.806 * 10^24 molecules

Convert the molecule to moles

`\begin{gathered} \text{moles of CO=}(1.806*10^(24))/(6.02*10^(23)) \\ \text{moles of CO}=0.3*10^1 \\ \text{moles of CO=3moles} \end{gathered}`

Given that molar mass of CO = 12 + 16 = 28g/mol

Determine the required mass in grams
