Answer :
Final answer:
After converting 3860 moles of CO2 into grams and then into pounds, the result is 374.79 pounds, which does not match any of the provided options, indicating a possible error in the question or misunderstanding.
Explanation:
The question is asking to convert 3860 moles of CO2 (carbon dioxide) into pounds. To do this, we first need to multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of CO2, which is 44.01 g/mol. This gives us the mass in grams. Then, we need to convert grams to pounds, knowing that 1 pound is approximately 453.592 grams.
So, the calculation is: 3860 moles of CO2 × 44.01 g/mol = 169,918.6 grams of CO2. To convert to pounds: 169,918.6 grams ÷ 453.592 grams/pound = 374.79 pounds. It seems there might have been a misunderstanding in the given options or the calculation process provided is incorrect based on the options listed. None of the options match the calculated result.
