Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Avogadro, there are
6.022 * 10^(23) atoms per molecule in one mole of a substance.

Therefore, in 15 moles of oxygen gas calculate the molecules of oxygen as follows.


6.022 * 10^(23) * 15

=
90.33 * 10^(23) molecules

=
9.03 * 10^(24) molecules

Thus, we can conclude that there are
9.03 * 10^(24) molecules in 15 moles.
