I was able to determine for oxygen, as it's only 1, but carbon dioxide is two elements. I am needing to convert 1.1 grams of carbon dioxide to moles. Part of my problem was converting 16.0 grams of oxygen to moles, which was determined to be 1 (I hope).

Way off.
1st you need the molecular mass not atomic number of CO2. This is 44 ( 12 for carbon, 32 for oxygen [2 x 16]).
2nd take your grams (1.1 g) and divide it by the molecular mass (44). This will give you the moles of carbondixoide.
3rd 16 grams of oxygen is not 1 mole. Oxygen is diatomic O2, there fore it molecular mass is 32, not 16. By dividing you 16 grams by the molecular mass (32) you get .5 moles!!!

carbon (12) + 2 oxygens (2*16) = 44g/mol
1.1/44 = your answer :)

there is a very simple way, use the formula of 2n2 (square) and then convert it into moles and find its atomic mass then apply that formula again and result will be before u
