Answer:

0.43×10²³ atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of LiBrO₂ = 4.28 g

Number of atoms of oxygen = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.28 g/ 118.84 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.036 mol

We can see 1 mole of LiBrO₂ contain 2 mole of oxygen atm.

0.036 mol × 2 = 0.072 mol

1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ atoms

0.072 mol × 6.022×10²³ atoms / 1mol

0.43×10²³ atoms
