How many atoms of oxygen are present in 5 moles of CO2? (NA = 6.023 x 10^23)
A$3.011 \times 10^{24}$
B$6.023 \times 10^{23}$
C$6.023 \times 10^{24}$
D$1.205 \times 10^{25}$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. $6.023 \times 10^{24}$
1. One mole of CO2 contains 2 moles of oxygen atoms.
2. So 5 moles of CO2 contain $5 \times 2 = 10$ moles of oxygen atoms.
3. Atoms of oxygen $= 10 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}$.
4. $= 6.023 \times 10^{24}$ atoms.
Forgetting the factor of 2 (using 5 moles of O) gives $3.011 \times 10^{24}$.
