1. Find the molar mass of CO2:
* Carbon (C) has a molar mass of 12.01 g/mol
* Oxygen (O) has a molar mass of 16.00 g/mol
* CO2 has one carbon and two oxygen atoms, so its molar mass is 12.01 + (2 * 16.00) = 44.01 g/mol
2. Use the formula:
* Moles = Mass / Molar Mass
3. Plug in the values:
* Moles of CO2 = 11g / 44.01 g/mol
* Moles of CO2 ≈ 0.25 mol
Therefore, there are approximately 0.25 moles of CO2 molecules present in 11 grams of carbon dioxide.
