So CO2 is 44g/mol.
48/44 is 1.0909091 moles. This multiplied by avagadros number is 6.57x1023 molecules. As there is 1 carbon per molecule, this also equals the number of carbon atoms
First of all, carbon dioxide is a molecule and hence the question should be: What is the molecular mass of carbon dioxide? and the answer is 12 + (2 x 16) = 48
There are more carbon atoms in 48 grams of CO2 than in 12 grams of diamond
48 pds

Twelve. Glucose is C6H12O6, so two molecules of glucose would give you: 12 carbon atoms 24 hydrogen atoms 12 oxygen atoms The 12 molecules of oxygen would give 24 oxygen atoms, for 48 total atoms of oxygen. So...each carbon atom would take two oxygen atoms to give 12 molecules of carbon dioxide, and each remaining oxygen atom would take two hydrogen atoms to give 12 molecules of water.
There are 12 carbon atoms in one molecule of sugar (C12H22O11). Therefore, in 2 moles of sugar, there would be 12 * 2 * 2 = 48 moles of carbon. To convert moles to grams, you would multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of carbon (12 g/mol), so there would be 48 * 12 = 576 grams of carbon in 2 moles of sugar.
Isotopes. Calcium atoms with a mass number of 40 represent the most common isotope, while those with a mass number of 48 are a less common, but still natural, isotopic form of calcium.
On average, trees absorb about 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. This can vary depending on the species, age, and size of the tree. Working to protect and plant trees is important in mitigating climate change by capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Almost half the mass of a tree is carbon, taken from the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. A tree only takes in carbon when it is growing, and the amount that a tree grows in a year varies from tree to tree. Old trees are bigger and grow more than young trees in a year, usually.
Petrol or gasoline is basically octane - C8H18 and when it burns in air (oxygen) it converts to Carbon Dioxide and water and heat. It is thus a chemical change. Each carbon atom in the fuel has approximately two hydrogen atoms attached to it, and so its reduced molecular weight is a multiple about 14. In the combustion process each carbon atom is combined with two oxygen atoms of atomic weight 16, to produce CO2 with a molecular weight of 44. In addition, the two atoms of hydrogen are united with one further oxygen atom to produce water with a molecular weight of 18. So (approximately) 14 kg of fuel reacts with 48 kg of oxygen to produce 44 kg of carbon dioxide and 18 kg of water.
This would be C4H10 and the molecular mass is (12x4) +(1x10) = 48 + 10 = 58g/mole.
A molecule of glucose has 6 atoms of carbon, 12 atoms of hydrogen, and 6 atoms of oxygen. Therefore, to build four molecules of glucose, you would need 48 atoms of hydrogen (12 atoms of hydrogen per molecule of glucose multiplied by 4 molecules).
