Simple Question probably making it harder than it is

Ok i made this question up, buuuut...

Say you have 0.25 g Carbon and it's from the CO2. How much atoms are in C and O?

haha the way I've been writing it down is C = 1 mol and O = 2 mol

Write out the balanced equation, then it turns into a simple stoich problem

hahah let me rephrase the question...it's 0.25 g CO2! how much atoms of each element? another oopsers

change CO2 to moles and then go from there.

ok so go the avrogado route i see!

yeah makes sense too since writing down atoms from the CO2 is based off of 1 mol of the compound.

Avagadro FTW!
