120 g of CO₂ correspond to 2.73 moles of CO₂.
First, we need to determine the molar mass (M) of CO₂ by adding the masses of its elements in 1 mole of CO₂.
[tex]M(CO_2) = M(C) + 2M(O) = 12.01 g/mol + 2(16.00 g/mol) = 44.01 g/mol[/tex]
We have a mass (m) of 120 g of CO₂. We can calculate the number of moles (n) using the following expression.
[tex]n = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{120 g }{44.01 g/mol} = 2.73 mol[/tex]
120 g of CO₂ correspond to 2.73 moles of CO₂.
