1. Determine the molar mass of oxygen (O):
- The molar mass of O is approximately 16.00 g/mol.
2. Calculate the moles of oxygen in 1 mole of SO2:
- Each molecule of SO2 contains two oxygen atoms.
3. Calculate the total moles of oxygen in 25 moles of SO2:
- 25 moles SO2 * (2 moles O / 1 mole SO2) = 50 moles O
4. Convert moles of oxygen to grams of oxygen:
- 50 moles O * 16.00 g O / 1 mole O = 800 g O
Therefore, 25 moles of sulfur dioxide contain 800 grams of oxygen.
