Which contains the greatest number of O2 atoms

  1. Which contains the greatest number of moles of oxygen atoms?

A. 0.05 mol Mg(NO3)2
B. 0.05 mol C,H,(NO2)2
C. 0.1 mol H2O
D. 0.1 mol NO2

Hello! How do you solve this question? The answer is A

thanks!

hi

A) if 1 mol is Na molecules then the sample has 0,05 * 6,02 * 10²³ = 0,303 * 10²³ molecules. For every molecule there is 6 oxygen atoms so 6 * 0,303 * 20²³ = 1,818 * 10²³ O atoms.

B) 4 * 0,303 * 10²³ = 1,212 * 10²³

C) 0,602 * 10²³

D) 2 * 0,602 = 1,204 * 10²³

So the correct answer must be A). Hope this helps!
