The number of molecules in 48.0 grams of oxygen gas (O2) is... O 6.02 x 1023
O 1.81 x 1024
O 1.20 x 1024
9.03 x 1023

9.033 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen = 48.0 g

Number of molecules = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 48.0 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.5 mol

Avogadro number:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.  The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

1.5 mol  × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules  / 1mol

9.033 × 10²³ molecules

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
