Question #32162

what is th mass in gram of oxygen atom and molecule

Expert's answer

One mole is a quantity of N0\mathrm{N}_0 atoms or molecules. Therefore, the atomic weight is the weight of one mole of atoms, and the molecular weight is the weight of one mole of molecules. The N0\mathrm{N}_0 is Avogadro's number, and it's equal to the following:


N0=6.022⋅1023\mathrm{N}_0 = 6.022 \cdot 10^{23}


The molecular weight Mw of a molecule, multiplied by the number of moles n, is equal to the total weight W of the molecules:


W=n⋅Mw\mathrm{W} = \mathrm{n} \cdot \mathrm{Mw}


So one mole includes 6.022⋅10236.022 \cdot 10^{23} particles.

For O2\mathrm{O}_2, one mole has weight of 32 g32\,\mathrm{g} (from molecular weight)

mass of one molecule =6.022⋅1023/32 g=5.314∗10−23 g= 6.022 \cdot 10^{23} / 32\,\mathrm{g} = 5.314 * 10^{-23}\,\mathrm{g}

mass of one atom is 5.314∗10−23 g/2=2,657∗10−23 g5.314 * 10^{-23}\,\mathrm{g} / 2 = 2,657 * 10^{-23}\,\mathrm{g}
