8.25 grams of #O_2# has 0.258 moles of Oxygen.

Here's how you figure that out:

Oxygen is one of the 7 diatomic elements, so it is normally #O_2#

You find it's molar mass (or mass for one mole of it) by adding up two of the masses from the Periodic Table.

16.00 x 2 = #(32.00g)/(1molO_2)#

Now, start with the given (8.25 g of #O_2#)

#(8.25g O_2)/1*(1molO_2)/(32.00g) = 0.2578# g, round #to 3# sig figs
#=0.258g# #O_2#
