Well, how do I find the molar quantity of anything?

Explanation:

You take the quotient...#"mass of stuff"/"molar mass of stuff"#...and get an answer in moles...

Carbon dioxide, which is a popular gas at the moment...has a molar mass of #44.01*g*mol^-1#. Can you reproduce this?

And so for the first quantity...

#(2.11*cancelg)/(44.01*cancelg*mol^-1)=0.0479*1/(mol^-1)=0.0479*1/(1/(mol))=0.0479*mol#

...an answer in moles are required.
