2.8×10-3 mol of CO2 is left after removing 1021molecules from its ‘x’ mg sample. The mass of CO2 taken initially is
Given: NA=6.02×1023 mol-1 [2025]
(4)
1021 molecules=10216.02×1023 mol =1.66×10-3 mol
Initial moles = mole left + mole removed
Initial moles =2.8×10-3 mol+1.66×10-3 mol
=4.46×10-3 mol
Initial mass=Initial moles×molar mass
=4.46×10-3 mol×44 g mol-1
=196.24×10-3 g=196.24 mg
