We use the molar quantity..........and get approx. 1xx10^24 molecules of O_2.

Explanation:

We know that "Avogadro's Number", N_A-=6.022xx10^23*mol.

And so to find the number of oxygen MOLECULES, we divide the mass by the molar mass, and multiply by "Avogadro's Number".

"Number of oxygen molecules.........."

=((0.0032*kg)/(0.018*kg*mol^-1))xx6.022xx10^23*"molecules"*mol^-1=??"molecules"
