Question

If 16 g of oxygen contains 1 mole of oxygen atoms, calculate the mass of one atom of oxygen.

Open in App

Solution

Given:
Mass of 1 mole of oxygen = 16g
We know that 1 mole of oxygen contains 6.022 × 10²³ oxygen atoms.
Mass of 6.022 × 10²³ oxygen atoms = 16g
Mass of 1 oxygen atom = 16/6.022 × 10²³
Hence, 1 atom of oxygen molecule weighs 2.65 × 10^-23 grams.
