Stoichiometry Question

Question

Is 6.02x10^23 molecules of carbon monoxide greater than, less than, or equal to 1 mole of carbon dioxide molecules?

Is 1 mole carbon monoxide greater than, less than, or equal to1 mole of carbon dioxide molecules?

Answer 1

A mole is just a really big grouping number. Just like a dozen = 12, a mole = 6.02x10^23

example: Is 12 molecules of carbon monoxide greater than, less than, or equal to 1 mole of carbon dioxide molecules? --- that's right. They're the same.

Answer to your question: 6.02x10^23 molecules of carbon monoxide is the same number of a mole of carbon dioxide molecules.

answer to part 2- they both have the same number of molecules.

Answer 2

6.02x10²³ molecules of CO has the same number of molecules as 1 mole of CO₂ so would be equal to.

For the 2nd part, it depends on what they mean by greater than. One mole of CO molecules has the same number of molecules as 1 mole of CO₂, but the MASS of CO would be LESS than that of CO_2. Poorly written question.
