Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of carbon dioxide = 250g
Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01g/mol
Unknown:
Number of moles of carbon dioxide = ?
Number of molecules of carbon dioxide = ?
Solution:
We first find the number of moles of carbon dioxide;
Number of moles = [tex]\frac{mass}{molar mass}[/tex]
Number of moles = [tex]\frac{250}{44.01}[/tex] = 5.68moles
From mole concept;
1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
5.68 mole of carbon dioxide will contain 5.68 x 6.02 x 10²³
= 3.42 x 10²⁴molecules
