Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the molar mass of CO2?
A
12
B
16
C
32
D
44
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The molecular mass of carbon dioxide CO2 is 44 g/mole.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, molecular mass of carbon dioxide (CO2) = (atomic mass of C) + 2 × (atomic mass of O) = (12 + 32) = 44 u.

Detailed explanation-3: -The atomic weight of a carbon atom is 12 and the atomic weight of oxygen is 16, so the total atomic weight of CO2 is 44 (12 + (16 * 2) = 44). This means that a quantity of CO2 can be expressed in terms of the amount of carbon it contains by multiplying the amount of CO2 by 0.27 (12/44).

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, the mass of 1 mole of is 44g.

Detailed explanation-5: -∴ 44g of CO2 has 6. 0×1023 molecules of CO2.
