Answer: 1.2044 x 1024.
- A 6.022 x 1023
- B 1.2044 x 1024
- C 3.011 x 1023
- D 2 atoms
Correct answer: B. 1.2044 x 1024
Explanation: Each CO2 molecule has 2 oxygen atoms, so 1 mole CO2 contains 2 moles of oxygen atoms = 1.2044 x 1024 atoms.
Mass connects to moles via molar mass, and moles connect to particle count via Avogadro's number or to gas volume via the 22.4 L/mol rule at STP.
Concept context
The mole is chemistry's counting unit. Learn to relate mass, volume, and number of particles using Avogadro's number and molar mass, the foundation of all stoichiometry and reaction calculations.
