PLEASE HELP ASAP The molecular weight of oxygen gas (O2) is 32 g/mol. What is the mass of a single oxygen atom? 2.66 x 10-23 g 3.13 x 10-1 g 1.06 x 10-23 g 5.31 x 10-23 g

5.31×10¯²³ g.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Molar weight of O2 = 32 g/mol

Mass of 1 oxygen atom =..?

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

This implies that 1 mole of O2 also contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

1 mole of O2 = 32 g

The mass of 1 atom of O2 can be obtained as follow:

32 g of O2 contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Therefore Xg of O2 will contain 1 atom i.e

Xg of O2 = 32/6.02×10²³

Xg of O2 = 5.31×10¯²³ g

Therefore, the mass of a single oxygen atom is 5.31×10¯²³ g.
