What is the number of oxygen atoms in 32g of the gas? (O = 16, L = 6.0 X 10\(^{23}\) mol\(^{-1}\))

  • A 3.2 X 10 23
  • B 6.0 X 1023
  • C 1.2 X 1024
  • D 1.6 X 1024
  • E 2.0 X 1024

The correct answer is B. 6.0 X 1023

Oxygen is Diatomic

: 1 mole of oxygen contains 2 ATOMS

→ 2 X 16g = 32g

32g of the gas = 6.0 X 10\(^{23}\) mol\(^{-1}\)
