What is the mass of 2.2x10^9 molecules of CO2? *

9.68 x 10^10 grams.

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of CO2 = ?

Number of molecules of CO2 = 2.2x10^9 molecules

Molar mass of CO2 = ? (let unknown value be Z)

For the molar mass of CO2: Atomic mass of Carbon = 12; Oxygen = 16

= 12 + (16 x 2)

= 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Apply the formula:

Number of molecules = (Mass of CO2 in grams/Molar mass)

2.2x10^9 molecules = Z/44g/mol

Z = 2.2x10^9 molecules x 44g/mol

Z = 9.68 x 10^10g

Thus, the mass of 2.2x10^9 molecules of CO2 is 9.68 x 10^10 grams.
