Answer:

The correct option is;

CO₂

Explanation:

The given information are;

The number of molecules in the substance = 1.3 × 10²⁵

The mass of the substance = 968 g

Therefore, we have;

The number of molecules in one mole of a substance = 6.02 × 10²³

The number of moles present = (1.3 × 10²⁵)/(6.02 × 10²³) ≈ 21.595 moles

Therefore, 968 g = 21.595 moles

1 mole = 968/21.595 = 44.826 g

The mass of one mole of the substance = 44.826 g

Therefore the mass of one mole of the substance is closely related to the mass of one mole of CO₂ which is 44.01 g/mol.  

The correct option is CO₂

  • The calculation is as follows:

The number of molecules in one mole of a substance should be = 6.02 × 10²³

And,

The number of moles present is

= (1.3 × 10²⁵)/(6.02 × 10²³)

≈ 21.595 moles

Now

1 mole = 968/21.595 = 44.826 g

The mass of one mole of the substance = 44.826 g

So,  the mass of one mole of the substance is closely related to the mass of one mole of CO₂ i.e.  44.01 g/mol.
