Respuesta :
lets get the molecular weight of each element
mw_C = 12.01
mw_O = 16.00
then molecular weight of CO2 is:
12.01 + 16.00*2 =
mw_CO2 = 44.09
Answer: The molar mass of carbon dioxide is 43.99 g/mol
Explanation:
Molar mass is defined as the sum of the mass of all the atoms each multiplied its atomic masses that are present in the molecular formula of a compound. It is expressed in g/mol.
We are given a chemical compound having chemical formula [tex]CO_2[/tex]
We know that:
Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol
Molar mass of oxygen = 15.99 g/mol
Molar mass of [tex]CO_2=[(1\times 12.01)+(2\times 15.99)]=43.99g/mol[/tex]
Hence, the molar mass of carbon dioxide is 43.99 g/mol
