Answer:

1.403x10²⁴ molecules

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate how many molecules of CO₂ are there in 102.5 g of the compound, we first convert grams to moles using its molar mass:

  • 102.5 g ÷ 44 g/mol = 2.330 mol CO₂

Now we convert moles into molecules using Avogadro's number:

  • 2.330 mol * 6.023x10²³ molecules/mol = 1.403x10²⁴ molecules
