The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
This is the chemical formula for cassiterite (tin ore): SnO2 A geochemist has determined by measurements that there are 13. moles of tin in a sample of cassiterite. How many moles of oxygen are in the sample? Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In SnO2, there are two moles of oxygen for each mole of tin.
Hence, if there are 13 moles of tin, then we should have 13 * 2 moles of oxygen. This gives us 26 moles of oxygen.
Hence there are 26 moles of oxygen.
