Plants need carbon dioxide to produce energy. How many carbon are there in 10.0 g of carbon dioxide?
this is what I have so far.
10.0g x 1mol/44.01CO2 = 227 mol CO2
This looks like a chemistry problem to me and Clark Atlanta surely didn't direct me to this question. You should show the subject in the subject area.
Except for the decimal I agree with your answer.
10 x (1 mol CO2/44.01 g/mol) = 0.227 mols CO2 in 10 g.
The number of C atoms in 10 g CO2 =
0.227 mols x (6.022E23 molecules CO2/mol CO2) x (1 mol C/1 mol CO2) = ?
To determine the number of carbon atoms in 10.0 g of carbon dioxide, we first need to convert grams of carbon dioxide into moles. The molar mass of carbon dioxide (CO2) is 44.01 g/mol.
Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of carbon dioxide (CO2) using the given mass:
10.0 g CO2 x (1 mol CO2 / 44.01 g CO2) = 0.227 mol CO2
Step 2: Carbon dioxide contains one carbon atom per molecule. So, it follows that the number of carbon atoms is the same as the number of moles of carbon dioxide.
Therefore, there are 0.227 moles of carbon atoms in 10.0 g of carbon dioxide.
