    Find the number of mols of CO2

    1 mol of CO2 has a mass of

    1 C + 2Os = 12 + 2*16 grams = 44 grams

    x mol = 0.0418 CO2

    1/x = 44/0.0418

    44x = 0.0418

    x = 0.0418 / 44

    x = 0.00095 mol

    1 mol of CO2 has 6.02 * 10^23 Carbon atoms in it. Note that is the same number of molecules of CO2 present.

    0.00095 mols = x

    1/0.00095 = 6.02*10^23) / x

    x = 6.02*10^23 * 0.00095

    x = 5.719 * 10^20 atoms of carbon in 0.0418 grams of CO2
