  • Oxygen Content in Potassium Dichromate: A Step-by-Step Calculation
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Determine the number of oxygen atoms per formula unit:

    * The formula K₂Cr₂O₇ shows that there are 7 oxygen atoms per molecule of potassium dichromate.

    2. Calculate the molar mass of oxygen:

    * The molar mass of oxygen is 16.00 g/mol.

    3. Calculate the total mass of oxygen in 2 moles of potassium dichromate:

    * Step 1: Multiply the number of oxygen atoms per molecule by the number of moles of potassium dichromate: 7 oxygen atoms/molecule * 2 moles = 14 moles of oxygen atoms.

    * Step 2: Multiply the moles of oxygen atoms by the molar mass of oxygen: 14 moles * 16.00 g/mol = 224 g

    Therefore, there are 224 grams of oxygen in 2 moles of potassium dichromate.
