Answer:
3.011 × 10²³ O₂ Molecules
Explanation:
Data Given:
Mass of O₂ = 16.0 g
M.Mass of O₂ = 32.0 g.mol⁻¹
Step 1: Calculate Moles of O₂ as,
Moles = Mass ÷ M.Mass
Putting values,
Moles = 16.0g ÷ 32.0 g.mol⁻¹
Moles = 0.50 mol of O₂
Step 2: Calculate number of Carbon atoms,
As 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro's Number) then the relation for Moles and Number of Oxygen Molecules can be written as,
Moles = Number of O₂ Molecules ÷ 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules.mol⁻¹
Solving for Number of C atoms,
Number of O₂ Molecules = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules.mol⁻¹
Putting value of moles,
Number of O₂ Molecules = 0.50 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules.mol⁻¹
Number of O₂ Molecules = 3.011 × 10²³ O₂ Molecules
