Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the number of moles in 60g of CO2, we first need to determine the molar mass of CO2, which is the sum of the atomic masses of carbon and two oxygen atoms:
M(C) + 2 × M(O) = 12.01 g/mol + 2 × 16.00 g/mol = 44.01 g/mol
The molar mass of CO2 is 44.01 g/mol.
We can use the molar mass to convert the mass of CO2 to moles:
moles = mass / molar mass
moles = 60 g / 44.01 g/mol
moles = 1.36 mol (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, there are 1.36 moles of CO2 in 60g of CO2.
