Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
The chemical formula for quartz is SiO₂. It has a molar mass of 60.08 g/mol. We use this to find the moles of quartz.
Moles of quartz = 1.90 g(1 mol/60.08 g) = 0.03162 moles
From the chemical formula, there are 2 moles of Oxygen per 1 mole of SiO₂.
Moles of oxygen = 0.03162 moles*2 = 0.063249 moles O
We use the Avogadro's number, 6.022×10²³ atoms/mole, to find the number of oxygen atoms.
0.063249 moles O * 6.022×10²³ atoms/mole = <em>3.81×10²² atoms of oxygen</em>
