Solution

Step 1: Formula used

A mole is the quantity of any material which contains one Avogadro number (6.022×1023) of atoms, molecules, or ions.

1mol of CO2=6.022×1023 molecules of CO2

Numberofmoles=GivenmassMolarmass

Step 2: Expressing the mass in grams

The molar mass of CO2

=AtomicmassofC+2×AtomicmassofO=12+2×16=12+32=44u

Mass of CO2 in terms of grams is

=1mol×44u=44grams

Therefore, The mass of 6.022×1023 molecules of CO2 is 44 grams.
