How many grams of carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) are there in 1.27 mol of the compound?

Answer 1

Calculate the molar mass of CO₂ as follows:

C = 12.011 g/mol (from the periodic table) x (1 atom) = 12.011 g/mol

O = 15.999 g/mol (from the periodic table) x (2 atoms) = 31.998 g/mol

Add them up: 12.011 + 31.998 = 44.009 g/mol

Multiply 1.27 mol by 44.009 g/mol and you get 55.9 grams of CO₂
