Calculation of weight of CO
To calculate the weight of CO, we need to follow the given steps:
Step 1:
Calculate the number of oxygen atoms present in 88g of CO2.
Using the molecular mass of CO2:
Molecular mass of CO2 = 12 + 2(16) = 44g/mol
Number of moles of CO2 = Mass/Molecular mass = 88/44 = 2 moles
Number of oxygen atoms in 2 moles of CO2:
2 moles of CO2 = 2 x 6.022 x 10^23 molecules of CO2
1 molecule of CO2 = 2 atoms of oxygen
Therefore, 2 moles of CO2 = 2 x 6.022 x 10^23 x 2 = 2 x 12.044 x 10^23 atoms of oxygen
Step 2:
Calculate the number of moles of CO that will have the same number of oxygen atoms.
Since each molecule of CO has only 1 atom of oxygen, we need to find the number of moles of CO that will have the same number of oxygen atoms as present in 88g of CO2. This can be calculated as:
Number of moles of CO = Number of oxygen atoms/Number of oxygen atoms per molecule of CO
Number of oxygen atoms per molecule of CO = 1
Number of oxygen atoms = 2 x 12.044 x 10^23 = 24.088 x 10^23
Number of moles of CO = 24.088 x 10^23/1 = 24.088 x 10^23 moles
Step 3:
Calculate the weight of CO that will have the same number of oxygen atoms as present in 88g of CO2.
Using the molecular mass of CO:
Molecular mass of CO = 12 + 16 = 28g/mol
Weight of CO = Number of moles of CO x Molecular mass of CO
Weight of CO = 24.088 x 10^23 x 28 = 6.747 x 10^25 g
Conclusion:
The weight of CO that will have the same number of oxygen atoms as present in 88g of CO2 is 6.747 x 10^25 g.
