Answer:

0.776 ×10²³ atoms of oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al₂CO₃ = 10.0 g

Number of atoms of oxygen = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of Al₂CO₃:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 10.0 g/233.99 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.043 mol

1 mole of Al₂CO₃ contain 3 mole of oxygen.

0.043 ×3 mol = 0.129 mol

Number of atoms of oxygen:

1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ atoms

0.129 mol × 6.022×10²³ atoms / 1mol

0.776 ×10²³ atoms of oxygen
