The number of moles of CO2 which contain 16 g of oxygen:

Correct answer: B. 0.50

  • A. 0.25
  • B. 0.50
  • C. 1.00
  • D. 1.50

Explanation

Option B is correct.The number of moles of CO2 which contain 16 g of oxygen is 0.5 moles. This is because each molecule of CO2 contains 2 oxygen atoms, and 16 g of oxygen is equivalent to 0.5 moles of oxygen. So, 0.5 moles of CO2 will contain 16 g of oxygen. The equation for the formation of CO2 is: C + O2 → CO2 where: C is carbon, O2 is oxygen gas and CO2 is carbon dioxide The molar mass of CO2 is carbon dioxide The molar mass of CO2 is 44 g/mol, and the molar mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol. So, 0.5 moles of CO2 will contain 16 g of oxygen. Therefore, the number of moles of CO2 which contain 16 g of oxygen is 0.5 moles.
