  • Calculating Moles of Oxygen: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the number of moles of oxygen in 0.16 g:

    1. Determine the molar mass of oxygen gas (O₂):

    * Oxygen has an atomic mass of approximately 16 g/mol.

    * Oxygen gas exists as a diatomic molecule (O₂), so the molar mass is 2 * 16 g/mol = 32 g/mol.

    2. Use the formula: moles = mass / molar mass

    * moles = 0.16 g / 32 g/mol

    * moles = 0.005 mol

    Therefore, there are 0.005 moles of oxygen in 0.16 g of oxygen gas.
