Molecular mass of CO2 is 44.01 g/mol
Mass of one mole of CO2 is 44.01amu
Step-by-step explanation:
The structure of the CO2 molecule consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
To find the molecular mass of CO2, we need to add the atomic mass of the carbon atom and the atomic mass of the oxygen atom.
The atomic mass of carbon atom is = 12.01g/mole
The atomic mass of oxygen atom is = 16g/mole
CO2 has two oxygen atom, so the total mass of oxygen in CO2 will be 16 x 2 = 32g/mol
So, the molecular mass of CO2 = 12.01 + 32
= 44.01 g/mol
The molecular mass of the CO2 is 44.01 g/mol.
Mass of one molecule of CO2 is = 1 x 44.01
= 44.01 amu ( atomic mass unit).
