The number of moles of NO2 which contains 16 g of Oxygen:

Correct answer: A. 0.5

  • A. 0.5
  • B. 0.60
  • C. 1.0
  • D. 1.50

Explanation

The molar mass of NO2 is approximately 46.01 g/mol. This means that one mole of NO2 weighs 46.01 grams. Now, to find the number of moles of NO2 in 16 g of oxygen (O2), we'll use the molar mass of O2, which is approximately 32.00 g/mol. Number of moles of O2 = Mass of O2 (in grams) / Molar mass of O2 Number of moles of O2 = 16 g / 32.00 g/mol Number of moles of O2 = 0.5 moles Since NO2 contains one oxygen atom, the number of moles of NO2 will be the same as the number of moles of O2, which is 0.5 moles. So, 16 g of oxygen (O2) contains 0.5 moles of NO2.
