Answer:

0.00223mol

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of molecules of CO2 (nA) can be used to determine the number of moles it contain by dividing by Avagadros number (6.02 × 10^23 atoms)

That is;

number of moles (n) = nA of CO2 ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

According to this question, there are 1.34 x10^21 molecules of CO2, hence,

n of CO2 = 1.34 x10^21 ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

n = 1.34/6.02 × 10^21-23

n = 0.223 × 10^-2

n = 0.00223mol of CO2
