I have dry ice bought from a store. It is in a long renctangular block. I want to cut the block into equal amounts. After doing this, I don't have any idea how much carbon dioxide is in each amount. I would like to know how I can measure the amount of carbon dioxide in that piece.

Co2 is a commodity that is measured by weight. A block of dry ice will have about the same mass all the way through so you can come pretty close by measuring and cutting it and then after dividing it weigh each piece. If you divide evenly you should be pretty close to having the same weight on each piece

weigh it in grams convert it to mol by using its molar mass of 44.0095 g/mol. divide the mass you weigh by the molar mass, you have the amount of moles.
