How many grams of CO2 contain 3.011 x 1023 molecules?

Answer: 22 g.

  • A 11 g
  • B 22 g
  • C 44 g
  • D 88 g

Correct answer: B. 22 g

Explanation: 3.011 x 1023 molecules = 0.5 mol. Mass of CO2 = 0.5 x 44 = 22 g.

Mass (g)given substanceMoles (n)amount of substanceParticlesatoms / moleculesGas Volumeat STP (litres)divide byMolar Massmultiply by6.022 x 10^23multiply by22.4 L/mol

Mass connects to moles via molar mass, and moles connect to particle count via Avogadro's number or to gas volume via the 22.4 L/mol rule at STP.

Concept context

The mole is chemistry's counting unit. Learn to relate mass, volume, and number of particles using Avogadro's number and molar mass, the foundation of all stoichiometry and reaction calculations.
