CBSEENSC9005079

How many moles does 11 g of carbon dioxide make?

Solution

Molecular weight of carbon dioxide is 44g/mol.

Such that CO2 contains 1 carbon and 2 oxygen atom. Thus,

1 x12 +2x16 =44  (mass of carbon =12, mass of oxygen =16)

Now by dividing the given grams (11g) by the molecular weight of CO2:

11/44 =0.25 mol
