Answer:
0.82 moles CO₂
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert from grams to moles, you need to find the molar mass of CO₂. This conversion is a ratio stating the amount of grams CO₂ per 1 mole. The molar mass is calculated using the molar mass of each element (in CO₂) from the periodic table.
Molar Mass (Carbon): 12.011 g/mol
Molar Mass (Oxygen): 15.998 g/mol
Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)
Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol
36 grams CO₂ 1 mole
---------------------- x -------------------------- = 0.82 moles CO₂
44.007 grams
