Question

If carbon monoxide has no. Of molecules of o2 in 22g carbon dioxide. Then what ls the mass of carbon monoxide

Answer 1

24
is the answer thank youban have a nice day

Answer 2

The numver of moles in 40g of Oxygen. Oxygen is diatomic, so we’re looking at O2 molecules. The molar mass of an O2 molecule is 32 grams (twice 16g), so by 40/32 = 1.25, we know that 1.25 moles are present in 40 grams of O2. Since when the number of molecules is equivalent we know the number of moles is also the same, we can proceed to find 1.25 moles worth of CO2.

1.25 * (12+16+16) = 1.25*(44)=55. Therefore the final answer is 55 grams.
