3.01×1021 molecules O2

Explanation:

MCO2=220 mg
MWCO2=44.01 g/mol
O2 molecules = ?

moles CO2=MCO2MWCO2=220 mg1000 mg/g44.01 g/mol=0.00500 mol

moles O2 per mole CO2=1

Avogadro's number=NA=6.022×1023 molecules/mol

O2 molecules=moles CO2×moles O2moles CO2×NA

=0.00500 mol CO2×1 mol O21 mol CO2×6.022×1023 molecules O21 mol O2

=3.01×1021 molecules O2
