Answer:

63.25 grams of CO₂

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert from liters to grams, we first need to convert from liters to moles. To do this, we divide the liters by 22.4, the amount of liters of a gas per mole.

32.2 / 22.4

= 1.4375 moles of CO₂

Now we want to convert from moles to grams. To do this, we multiply the moles by the molar mass of CO₂. The total molar mass can be found on the periodic table by adding up the molar mass of carbon (12) and two oxygen (32).

12 + 32 = 44

Now we want to multiply the moles by the molar mass.

1.4375 • 44

= 63.25 grams of CO₂

This is your answer.

Hope this helps!
