There are 2 moles of C in 1 mol of CO₂

Explanation:

CO₂ → Carbon dioxide

1 molecule of carbon dioxide has 1 atom of C and 2 atoms of O

1 mol of carbon dioxide has 1 mol of C and 2 moles of O

Juliana · Answer 2

Avogadro's number shows us that there are 6.022 x 10^23 molecules of CO2 in 1 mole of the gas. Therefore, there are 6.022 x 10^23 atoms of carbon and 12.044 x 10^23 atoms of oxygen in that 1 mole of CO2.
