Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of CO₂ = ?

Mass of CO₂ = 388.1 g

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12× 1 + 16×2

Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol

Now we will put the values in formula.

Number of moles = 388.1 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 8.82 moles

Now we will calculate the number of molecules by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

8.82 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules / 1 mol

53.11× 10²³ molecules
