Answer: The amount of carbon dioxide for a given amount are 0.28 moles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

We are given:

Given mass of carbon dioxide = 12.3 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of carbon dioxide}=(12.3g)/(44g/mol)=0.28mol$

Hence, the amount of carbon dioxide for a given amount are 0.28 moles.
