How many atoms are present in one mole of carbon dioxide (CO2)?
- A 6.02 x 10^23 atoms
- B 6.02 x 10^28 atoms
- C 1.807 x 10^23 atoms
- D 1.807 x 10^24 atoms
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Each molecule of carbon dioxide consists of one carbon atom (C) and two oxygen atoms (O). One mole of carbon dioxide (CO2) contains approximately 6.02214076 x 10^23 molecules. To find the total number of atoms, you would multiply this by the number of atoms in each molecule:
6.02214076 x 10^23 molecules of CO2 x 3 (1 carbon atom + 2 oxygen atoms) = approximately 1.807642228 x 10^24 atoms of carbon dioxide.
