    The answer is 6.023 * 10²³ molecules

    Avogadro's number is the number of units (atoms, molecules) in 1 mole of substance:

    6.023 * 10²³ molecules per 1 mole

    Let's calculate how many grams are in 1 mole. This is expressed as molar mass Mr:

    Mr (CO2) = Ar (C) + 2Ar (O)

    Ar (C) = 12

    Ar (O) = 16

    Mr (CO2) = 12 + 2 * 16 = 12 + 32 = 44 g

    There are 44 g in 1 mole.

    There are 6.023 * 10²³ molecules in 1 mole.

    So there are 44 g in 6.023 * 10²³ molecules
