Which sample contains the largest number of oxygen atoms? Select one: a. 8.0 g of carbon dioxide b. 8.0 g of potassium chlorate
1 answer:
The sample with the largest number of oxygen atoms will be calcium perchlorate.
<h3>Number of atoms in a compound</h3>Since we are not looking at the number of moles, the mass of the compounds has no bearing on the number of atoms of oxygen.
- The chemical formula for carbon dioxide is
. Thus, it has 2 atoms of oxygen.
- The chemical formula for potassium chlorate is
. Thus, it has 3 oxygen atoms.
- The chemical formula for calcium perchlorate is
. Thus, it has 8 atoms of oxygen.
- The chemical formula for sodium hydroxide is NaOH. Thus, it has 1 atom of oxygen.
Therefore, the compound with the largest number of oxygen atoms is calcium perchlorate.

It is Cobalt(II)chloride dihydrate. The value of x is 2.
First, we have to determine the mass of H₂O that was evaporated upon heating which will be = 2.00g - 1.56 g
= 0.435 g
So,
CoCl₂ + x.H₂O → CoCl₂.xH₂O
Molecular mass of CoCl₂ = 129.839 g/mol
Molecular mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol
Weight of sample after heating = 1.565 g
Weight of H₂O evaporated = 0.435 g
Hence,
x ≈ 2
So, it is Cobalt(II)chloride dihydrate.
