Answer : The number of oxygen atoms are,
37.94* 10^(23)

Explanation : Given,

Mass of
N_2O_3 = 160 g

Molar mass of
N_2O_3 = 76.01 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of
N_2O_3


\text{Moles of }N_2O_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }N_2O_3}{\text{Molar mass of }N_2O_3}=(160g)/(76.01g/mole)=2.1mole

As we know that
N_2O_3 contains 2 number of nitrogen atoms and 3 number of oxygen atoms.

Now we have to calculate the number of atoms of oxygen.

As, 1 mole of
N_2O_3 contains
3* 6.022* 10^(23) number of oxygen atoms

As, 2.1 mole of
N_2O_3 contains
2.1* 3* 6.022* 10^(23)=37.94* 10^(23) number of oxygen atoms

Therefore, the number of oxygen atoms are,
37.94* 10^(23)
