Calculate the mass of a mole of carbon dioxide?
Solution
The mole is just a particle count. The particles being counted are usually chemically identical entities that are individually different. A solution, for example, might include a particular number of dissolved molecules that are more or less independent of one another. The component particles of a solid, on the other hand, are stable and bonded in a lattice pattern, yet they may be separated without losing their chemical identity.
Complete answer:
A substance's molar mass is the mass of one mole of that material expressed in gram multiples. The number of moles in the sample is the quantity of material. The magnitude of molar mass is numerically the same as the mean mass of one molecule, given in daltons, for most practical uses. Water, for example, has a molar mass of 18.015 g/mol. The use of the molar volume or the measurement of electric charge are two further ways.
The molecular mass of carbon dioxide must be determined.
2 atoms of oxygen are present) Molecular mass of CO2 = Molecular mass of carbon + 2 (Molecular mass of oxygen)
Carbon's molecular mass is 12
The oxygen molecule has a mass of 16 molecules.
CO2 molecular mass =12+(16×2)=12+32=44g
CO2 has a mass of around 44 gram per mole (6.023 × 1023molecules).
Note:
Carbon dioxide, as a source of accessible carbon in the carbon cycle, is the principal carbon source for life on Earth, and its concentration in the pre-industrial atmosphere has been regulated by photosynthetic organisms and geological events since late in the Precambrian. Light energy is used by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria to photosynthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water, with oxygen created as a waste product.
