There are 9.88x1023 molecules of O2 available. a. How many moles of O2?

b. How many grams of CO2 can form?

1.64 moles O₂

Explanation:

Part A:

Remember 1 mole of particles = 6.02 x 10²³ particles

So, the question becomes, how many  '6.02 x 10²³'s are there in 9.88 x 10²³ molecules of O₂?

This implies a division of given number of particles by 6.02 x 10²³ particles/mole.

∴moles O₂ = 9.88 x 10²³ molecules O₂ / 6.02 x 10²³ molecules O₂ · mole⁻¹ = 1.64 mole O₂

Part B needs an equation (usually a combustion of a hydrocarbon).

explanation:

crosscutting concepts have application across all domains of science. as such, they are a way of linking the different domains of science. they include patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; energy and matter; structure and function; and stability and change.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
