Question

The molar mass of CO2 is 44g/mol. How many grams are in 3 mol CO,?

Answer 1

Assuming the question was about 3 mol CO2 - it's 132g. Assuming it's about CO - it's 84g.

Step-by-step explanation:

The molar mass of X means "a mole of X weighs that".

So 1 mol CO2 weighs 44g, so 3 moles will weigh three times that - 132g.

Now, with CO, we need to compute the molar mass of CO. One particle of CO is comprised of 2 atoms - a Carbon atom and an Oxygen atom, with molar masses ~12g and ~16g respectively. That brings us to molar mass of CO of 28g and the mass of 3 mol CO of 28g*3 = 84g

Answer 2

We assume you are converting between moles CO2 and gram. You can view more details on each measurement unit: molecular weight of CO2 or grams This compound is also known as Carbon Dioxide. The SI base unit for amount of substance is the mole. 1 mole is equal to 1 moles CO2, or 44.0095 grams.
