How many atoms are there in 3.2 g of oxygen O2?

m (O2) = 3.2 g.

Let’s determine the number of oxygen atoms. We write down the solution.

We use the following formula.

N = n * Na.

Where N is the number of atoms.

n is the amount of substance.

Na – Avogardo’s number equal to 6.02 * 10’23

We find the amount of substance.

n = m / M.

M (O2) = 16 * 2 = 32 g / mol.

M (O2) = 3.2 / 32 = 0.1 mol.

N (O2) = 0.1 * 6.02 * 10’23 = 0.602 * 10’23 = 6.02 * 10’22 atoms.

This means that 3.2 grams of oxygen contains 6.02 * 10’22 atoms.

Answer: N (O2) = 6.02 * 10’22 atoms.
