  • Calculating Moles of Oxygen: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the moles of O₂:

    1. Avogadro's Number

    * Avogadro's number tells us the number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in one mole of a substance. It's approximately 6.022 x 10²³ particles/mole.

    2. Setting Up the Calculation

    We'll use the following relationship:

    * (Number of molecules) / (Avogadro's number) = (Number of moles)

    3. Calculation

    * (2.045 x 10²¹ molecules O₂) / (6.022 x 10²³ molecules/mole) = 0.0034 moles O₂

    Answer: There are approximately 0.0034 moles of O₂ in 2.045 x 10²¹ molecules of O₂.
