How many carbon atoms are there in 52.06 g of carbon dioxide, CO2? The molar mass of CO2 is 44.01 g/mol.

Answer :

Answer:

The number of carbon atoms in 52.06 g of CO₂ is 7.124 x 10²³ atoms

Explanation:

The number of carbon atoms can be determined by taking the product of the  Avogadro's number and the number of moles of CO₂. The moles of CO₂ can be calculated as,

[tex]n_{CO_2}=\frac{mass}{molecular mass}[/tex]

[tex]n_{CO_2}=\frac{52.06}{44.01}[/tex]

[tex]n_{CO_2}=1.183[/tex]

The same will be the number of moles of carbon atom. Now, the number of carbon atoms can be calculated as follows

[tex]number of atoms = n_{C} \times N_A[/tex]

Here, NA is the Avogadro's number, and its value is 6.022 x 10²³. Placing the values we get:

[tex]number of atoms = 1.183 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\number of atoms = 7.124 \times 10^{23}[/tex]

The number of carbon atoms in 52.06 g of CO₂ is 7.124 x 10²³ atoms

Calculation of the number of carbon atoms:

Since The molar mass of CO2 is 44.01 g/mol.

Here the mass of CO2 is

= mass / molecular mass

= 52.06 / 44.01

= 1.183

Now the number of carbon atoms should be

= 1.183 * 6.022 * 10^23

= 7.124 x 10²³
