How many molecules of CO2 are in 132.03 grams of CO2 ?

3.00 molecules

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of CO2 = 132.03 grams

Number of molecules of CO2 = ?

Molar mass of CO2 = ?

For the molar mass of CO2: Atomic mass of Carbon = 12; Oxygen = 16

= 12 + (16 x 2)

= 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Apply the formula:

number of molecules = (mass in grams/molar mass)

N = (132.03 grams/44g/mol)

N = 3.00 molecules

Thus, there are 3.00 molecules of CO2 in 132.03 grams of CO2.

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
