Answer:

option C is correct = 1.14 × 10²² molecules of CO₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CO₂ = 0.0189 mol

Number of molecules = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

For given question:

1 mole of CO₂ = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of CO₂

0.0189 mol of CO₂ × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of CO₂ / 1mol

1.14 × 10²² molecules of CO₂

Thus, option C is correct.
