1. If a student has Avogadro’s number of CO2 molecules, how many molecules of

CO2 does he/she have?
6.02 × 10 molecules of CO 2
23

2. (a) How many atoms of C are contained in 1 mole of CO2 ?

23
1 mole CO 2 × 1 1mole CO 2 × = 6.02 × 10 atoms of C
mole C 6.02×10 atoms C 23
1 mole C

(b) How many atoms of O are contained in 1 mole of CO2 ?

23
1 mole CO 2 × 12mole CO 2 × = 1.20 ×10 atoms of O
moles O 6.02×10 atoms O 24
1 mole O

3. How many molecules of CO2 are contained in 4.40g of CO2 ?

(mass-->molecules-->mole)
1 mole CO 2 6.02×10 23 molecules CO2
4.40g CO 2 × × = 6.02 × 10 molecules CO2
22
44.00g CO2 1 mole CO2

4. How many atoms of C are contained in 4.40g of CO2 ?

(mass-->moles CO2 -->molecules CO2 x # of C atoms)
molecule of CO2
1 mole CO 2 6.02×10 23 atoms C
4.40g CO 2 × × 1 1mole CO2 × = 6.02 ×10 molecules CO 2
mole C 22
44.00g CO2 1 mole C

5. How many g of CO2 are contained in 0.1 mole of CO2 ?

(mole-->g (using MM))
44.00g CO2
0.1 mole CO 2 × 1 mole CO2 = 4g CO2

6. What is the mass (in g) of 6.02 x 1022 molecules of CO2 ?

(molecules-->moles-->g)
1 mole CO 44.00g CO
6.02 × 10 22 molecules of CO2 × 6.02 ×1023 molecules2 of CO × 1 mole CO22 = 4.40g CO 2
