First we need to determine the number of moles of CO2 present in 4CO2.

The molecular weight of CO2 is 44.01 g/mol. Therefore, the molecular weight of 4CO2 is:

44.01 g/mol x 4 = 176.04 g/mol

We can now use Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6.022 x 10^23 molecules per mole, to convert the number of moles of CO2 to the number of molecules of CO2:

Number of molecules = (Number of moles) x (Avogadro's number)

Number of molecules = (Mass / Molecular weight) x (Avogadro's number)

Number of molecules = (176.04 g / 44.01 g/mol) x (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol)

Number of molecules = 16 x (6.022 x 10^23 molecules)

Number of molecules = 9.635 x 10^24 molecules

There are approximately 9.635 x 10^24 molecules in 4CO2.
