The mass of 1.5 moles of CO_2CO2 is 66 grams

Explanation:

Let:
nn be the number of moles
mm be the mass
MM be the molecular weight

n = 1.5moln=1.5mol

By definition:

n = m/Mn=mM

m = n*Mm=nโ‹…M

M(C) = 12g//molM(C)=12g/mol
M(O_2) = 2*16g//mol= 32g//molM(O2)=2โ‹…16g/mol=32g/mol
M = 12g//mol + 32g//molM=12g/mol+32g/mol
M = 44g//molM=44g/mol

m = 1.5mol*44g//molm=1.5molโ‹…44g/mol
m = 66gm=66g
