Answer:
5.31×10¯²³ g.
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
Molar weight of O2 = 32 g/mol
Mass of 1 oxygen atom =..?
From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.
This implies that 1 mole of O2 also contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.
1 mole of O2 = 32 g
The mass of 1 atom of O2 can be obtained as follow:
32 g of O2 contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.
Therefore Xg of O2 will contain 1 atom i.e
Xg of O2 = 32/6.02×10²³
Xg of O2 = 5.31×10¯²³ g
Therefore, the mass of a single oxygen atom is 5.31×10¯²³ g.
