  • Oxygen vs. Calcium: Which Has More Atoms? - Chemistry Calculation
    Here's how to determine which has more atoms:

    1. Calculate the number of moles:

    * Oxygen (O):

    * Molar mass of oxygen = 16.00 g/mol

    * Moles of oxygen = (10.0 g) / (16.00 g/mol) = 0.625 mol

    * Calcium (Ca):

    * Molar mass of calcium = 40.08 g/mol

    * Moles of calcium = (10.0 g) / (40.08 g/mol) = 0.249 mol

    2. Calculate the number of atoms:

    * Avogadro's number: 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol

    * Oxygen:

    * Atoms of oxygen = (0.625 mol) * (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol) = 3.76 x 10^23 atoms

    * Calcium:

    * Atoms of calcium = (0.249 mol) * (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol) = 1.50 x 10^23 atoms

    Conclusion:

    10.0 g of oxygen has more atoms than 10.0 g of calcium.
