Answer : The number of tons of [tex]CO_2[/tex] are 88 tons.
Explanation : Given,
Moles of [tex]CO_2[/tex] = 2 ton-moles
Molar mass of [tex]CO_2[/tex] = 44 g/mole
First we have to convert ton-moles to moles.
1 ton = 907185 g
1 ton-moles = 907185 moles
2 ton-moles = 2 × 907185 moles
Now we have to calculate the mass of [tex]CO_2[/tex].
[tex]\text{Mass of }CO_2=\text{Moles of }CO_2\times \text{Molar mass of }CO_2[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mass of }CO_2=2\times 907185moles\times 44g/mole=(2\times 907185\times 44}g[/tex]
Now we have to calculate the mass of [tex]CO_2[/tex] in tons.
1 ton = 907185 g
or,
[tex]1g=\frac{1}{907185}ton[/tex]
So,
[tex]\text{Mass of }CO_2=(2\times 907185\times 44)g\times \frac{1\text{ ton}}{907185g}=88\text{ tons}[/tex]
Therefore, the number of tons of [tex]CO_2[/tex] are 88 tons.
