  • Oxygen Atoms in Acetic Acid: A Step-by-Step Calculation
    Here's how to figure out the number of oxygen atoms:

    1. Identify the number of oxygen atoms per molecule:

    * The formula CH3CO2H represents acetic acid.

    * There are two oxygen atoms in each molecule of acetic acid (O2).

    2. Calculate the total number of oxygen atoms:

    * Multiply the number of oxygen atoms per molecule by the total number of molecules: 2 oxygen atoms/molecule * 300 molecules = 600 oxygen atoms

    Therefore, there are 600 oxygen atoms in 300 molecules of CH3CO2H (acetic acid).
