STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
Given parameters
The mass of CO2 = 44.6 grams
To find the volume, we need to find the mole of CO2 first
The formula for calculating mole is given below as
[tex]\text{Mole = }\frac{\text{ reacting mass}}{\text{molar mass}}[/tex]The molar mass of CO2 can be calculated using the formula unit
Mass of carbon = 12 u
Mass of oxygen = 16 u
Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + 2(16)
Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + 32
Molar mass of CO2 = 44 g/mol
Substituting the above parameters into the mole formula
