A gram-mole of any gas occupies 22.4 litres. The molecular weight of CO2 is one of carbon plus two of oxygen, 1 x 12 + 2 x 16, in other words 44.

That means that a gram-mole of CO2 is 44 grams, which occupies 22.4 litres or 22,400 cc, so its density is 44/22400 or 0.00196 gm/cc.

The MW of hydrogen is 2, nitrogen is 18, oxygen is 32, so CO2 is a relatively dense gas.
