Given:
1 mol of O2 gas
Determine how many atoms does it consist.
Explanation:
1 mole of an element simply consists of 6.023 x 10^23 particles, also known as the Avogadro's number. In our case, since an oxygen gas has 2 atoms, we can simply multiply 6.023 x 10^23 to determine the number of atoms/particles. Thus, it can be represented as,
2 x (6.02 x 10^23)
Final answer:
C. 2 x (6.02 x 10^23)
