Explanation / Answer

Avogadro's No. = no. of atoms or molecules in 1 mole of atoms or molecules = 6.022 x 1023

1. 2 moles of KNO3 contain 2 x Avogadro's no. of KNO3 molecules = 2 x 6.022 x 1023 molecules

1 molecule of KNO3 contain 3 oxygen atoms. So, 2 x 6.022 x 1023 molecules of KNO3 will contain

3 x 2 x 6.022 x 1023 atoms of oxygen.

No. of moles of oxygen atoms = Total atoms of oxygen / Avogadro's no.

= 3 x 2 x 6.022 x 1023 / 6.022 x 1023

   = 6 moles of oxygen atoms

So, 2 moles of KNO3 contains 6 moles of oxygen atoms. Thus, no. of moles of an atom present in a molecule = no. of moles of molecule x no. of atoms present in one molecule.

2. 1 molecule of O2 contains 2 atoms of Oxygen.

2.50 mole of O2 will contain 2 x 2.50 x Avogadro's no. of atoms of oxygen which is

= 2 x 2.50 x 6.022 x 1023 = 3.011 x 1024 atoms of oxygen

3. A mole of H2O and a mole of O2 will contain same no. of molecules which is equal to Avogadro's no. Thus, option d is correct.

4. One molecule of sulphur contains 8 atoms of sulphur. So, 1 mole of sulphur molecules will contain

8 x Avogadro's no. of sulphur atoms = 8 x 6.022 x 1023 = 8 moles of sulphur atoms.

So, option b is correct.

5. Molecular mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol.

moles of O = mass of O / Molecular mass of O

This means that 48 g of O = 48 / 16 moles of O = 3 moles of O

3 moles of O will contain 3 x Avogadro's no. of oxygen atoms = 3 x 6.022 x 1023 oxygen atoms

= 1.8066 x 1024 oxygen atoms

Molecular mass of O2 is 32 g/mol.

moles of O2 = mass of O2 / Molecular mass of O2

This means that 48 g of O2 = 48 / 32 moles of O2 = 1.50 moles of O2

1.50 moles of O2 will contain 1.50 x Avogadro's no. of oxygen atoms

= 1.50 x 6.022 x 1023 oxygen atoms = 9.033 x 1023 oxygen atoms.
