How many o2 particles are in 2.50 of o2 at standard temperature and pressure (STP)?

A. 4.15 x 10^22 particles
B. 2.41 x 10^23 particles
C. 5.02 x 10^23 particles
D. 1.51 x 10^24 particles

Can you explain the answer please?

Respuesta :

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of atoms, we take the help of mole concept.

According to mole concept:

1 mole of any element contains [tex]6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex] number of atoms.

We need to find the number of particles or atoms present in 2.5 mole of [tex]O_2[/tex] gas:

2.50 moles of [tex]O_2[/tex] gas will have = [tex]2.5\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=15.10\times 10^{23}particles=1.51\times 10^{24}particles[/tex]

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

Avogadro's number is the estimate of the particles that the sample contains. In 2.50 moles of oxygen, 1.51 × 10²⁴ particles are present. Thus, option D is correct.

What are particles?

Particles are the smallest fraction of the entity present in any matter constituting of moles or molecules in the sample.

It is known that 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ particles. So, 2.5 moles of oxygen gas will have:

2.50 × 6.022 × 10²³ = 15 × 10²³ particles

Therefore, option D. 1.51 × 10²⁴ particles are present in 2.50 moles of oxygen gas.
