There are 9.88x1023 molecules of O2 available. a. How many moles of O2?

b. How many grams of CO2 can form?

1.64 moles O₂

Explanation:

Part A:

Remember 1 mole of particles = 6.02 x 10²³ particles

So, the question becomes, how many  '6.02 x 10²³'s are there in 9.88 x 10²³ molecules of O₂?

This implies a division of given number of particles by 6.02 x 10²³ particles/mole.

∴moles O₂ = 9.88 x 10²³ molecules O₂ / 6.02 x 10²³ molecules O₂ · mole⁻¹ = 1.64 mole O₂

Part B needs an equation (usually a combustion of a hydrocarbon).

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
