  • Calculating Moles of Oxygen in Carbon Dioxide: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Determine the chemical formula for carbon dioxide:

    * Carbon dioxide is CO₂

    2. Understand the mole ratio:

    * The formula CO₂ tells us that for every 1 molecule of carbon dioxide, there are 2 atoms of oxygen.

    3. Calculate the number of moles of oxygen atoms:

    * Since there are 2 moles of oxygen atoms per mole of CO₂, we can use the following ratio:

    (2 moles O atoms / 1 mole CO₂) * (100.0 moles CO₂) = 200.0 moles of oxygen atoms

    Therefore, there are 200.0 moles of oxygen atoms in 100.0 moles of carbon dioxide.
