Answer:

Half mole or 0.5 moles

__________________________________________________________

Solve

Oxygen has a molar molar mass of 32 g.

This means that O2 will have half that amount of grams, half-mole-substance.

6.022*10^23 molecules are present in one mole of any substance, so half it for O2.

6.022 × 10²³
-- > 3.011 × 10²³

And simplified, that would make your answer 0.5 moles.
