A student calculated the molar mass of CO2 as 28 g/mol. The teacher stated the answer is 44 g/mol. Provide evidence that explains where the student went wrong in their calculation.

Moles = mass/molar mass the molar mass of c20 = 12.011*20 = 240.22 g per mole therefore, the number of moles is 20 g / 240.22 g per mol = 0.0833 moles.

The surface of the water droplet is held together by the attraction between molecules. in order for water to flow more easily into these small spaces, you need to decrease its surface tension. you can do this by adding soap, which is a surfactant (a material that decreases the surface tension of a liquid).

2poclâ‚(g) ⇜ 2 pclâ‚(g) + oâ‚‚(g) â†gâ° = (2 mol)î”gfâ°(pclâ‚) – (2 mol)î”gfâ°(poclâ‚) = (2 mol)(–270 –(–502) kj/mol) â†gâ° = + 464 kj = â†hⰠ– tî”sâ° î”sâ° = 179 j/k ⇒ â†hâ° = â†gâ° + (298 k)(179 j/k) = –411 kj assuming that î”hâ° and î”sâ° do not depend on temperature, the temperature at which â†gâ° = 0 is where t = â†hâ°/î”sâ° = (–411 kj)/(0.179 j/k) = 2294 k. at that temp. keq = 1 for the reaction.
