Answer : The number of moles of oxygen atoms present in a sample is 0.661 moles.

Explanation :

As we know that,

1 mole of substance contains
6.022* 10^(23) number of atoms.

As we are given that:

Number of oxygen atoms =
3.98* 10^(23)

Now we have to determine the moles of oxygen atoms.

As,
6.022* 10^(23) atoms of oxygen present in 1 mole of oxygen

So,
3.98* 10^(23) atoms of oxygen present in
(3.98* 10^(23))/(6.022* 10^(23))=0.661 mole of oxygen

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen atoms present in a sample is 0.661 moles.
