0.25 moles of CO2 is present in 11 grams of CO2.
Explanation:
A mole represents the number of chemical entities in an element or molecule.
Number of moles of an element or molecule is determined by the formula:
The Number of moles (n) = weight of the atom given ÷ atomic or molecular weight of the one mole of the element or molecule.
Themolar mass of one mole of carbon dioxide is:
12+ ( 16×2)
= 44 gram/mole
The given weight is 44 grams of carbon dioxide.
Putting the values in the equation,
n= 11 gms÷44 gms/ mole
n = 0.25 mole
