Answer:

6.502 x 10²⁴ atoms.

Explanation:

First we convert 158.4 g of CO₂ into moles, using carbon dioxide's molar mass:

  • 158.4 g ÷ 44 g/mol = 3.6 mol CO₂

Then we calculate how many CO₂ molecules are there in 3.6 moles, using Avogadro's number:

  • 3.6 mol CO₂ * 6.023x10²³ molecules/mol = 2.168x10²⁴ CO₂ molecules

As there are 3 atoms per CO₂ molecule, we triple the number of CO₂ molecules in order to get the answer:

  • 2.168x10²⁴ CO₂ molecules * 3 = 6.504x10²⁴ atoms

The closest answer is the third option,  6.502 x 10²⁴ atoms.
