How many grams of CO2 are in 11 mol of the compound?
Answer: 484 grams of \(CO_2\) are present in given moles of the compound.
Explanation:
To calculate the mass of carbon dioxide, we use the equation:
\(\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}\)
We are given:
Moles of \(CO_2\) = 11 mol
Molar mass of \(CO_2\) = [12 + (2 × 16)] = 44 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
\(11mol=\frac{\text{Mass of }CO_2}{44g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of }CO_2=484g\)
Hence, the mass of carbon dioxide is 484 grams.
