Answer 1

Answer:

how many moles of co2 are present in 60 grams of co2

Answer 2

Given:

60 grams of carbon dioxide.

To find:

We have to find the number of moles.

Solution:

The chemical formula of carbon dioxide is $CO_2$.

The atomic weight of the C atom is 12 and the atomic weight of the Oxygen atom is 16 grams.

Thus the molecular weight of carbon dioxide is 12+16×2=44 grams.

44 grams of carbon dioxide has 1 mole.

Thus 60 grams of carbon dioxide has 60/44=1.36 moles.

Thus 60 grams of carbon dioxide has 1.36 moles
