Answer:

The correct answer is - 66g.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

molecules of CO2 = 9.03 x 10^23

We know:

1 mole of any substance = 6.02x10^23 molecules. (Avogadro's number)

M (CO2) = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44g

Solution:

The mass of CO2 with 9.03x10^23 molecules would be:

44g of CO2 = 6.02x10^23 molecules.

So, the mass in grams of CO2 (X) = 9.03x10^23 molecules

Xg of CO2 = (44x9.03x10^23)/6.02x10^23 = 66g

Thus, the correct answer would be - 66gm.
