1. Identify the Formula and Oxygen Atoms:
* The correct formula for potassium dichromate is K₂Cr₂O₇.
* There are 7 oxygen atoms in each molecule of potassium dichromate.
2. Calculate Molar Mass:
* K: 39.10 g/mol * 2 = 78.20 g/mol
* Cr: 52.00 g/mol * 2 = 104.00 g/mol
* O: 16.00 g/mol * 7 = 112.00 g/mol
* Total Molar Mass: 78.20 + 104.00 + 112.00 = 294.20 g/mol
3. Calculate Oxygen Mass per Mole:
* Oxygen makes up (112.00 g/mol / 294.20 g/mol) * 100% = 38.07% of the total mass of potassium dichromate.
4. Calculate Oxygen Mass in 2 Moles:
* Oxygen mass in 2 moles = 2 moles * 294.20 g/mol * 0.3807 = 224.00 grams
Therefore, there are 224.00 grams of oxygen in 2 moles of potassium dichromate.
