Answer to Question #251460 in General Chemistry for Chitee

Question

calculate mass of C from mass of CO2

Answer 1

To find the mass of carbon present in the CO2 in grams, we need only to multiply the moles of carbon by the molar mass of carbon. This 7.4 × 1015 g of carbon is 7.4 billion metric tons of carbon that are generated each year. This mass amount of carbon is less than the mass amount of carbon dioxide.
