Answer: 8.691 mols of CO₂
Explanation:
To find the number of moles in a given grams, you want to use the molar mass.
Let's first find the molar mass of CO₂.
Carbon's molar mass is 12.011 g/mol
Oxygen's molar mass is 15.999 g/mol
To find molar mass of CO₂, we want to add up the molar mass of carbon and oxygen. Remember, there are 2 Oxygens so we need to mulitply that by 2.
12.011+2(15.999)=44.009 g/mol
Now that we have molar mass, we can convert 382.5 g to mols.
[tex]382.5g*\frac{1 mol}{44.009g} =8.691 mol[/tex]
There are about 8.691 mols of CO₂.
