The Great Oxidation Event (GOE), sometimes also called the Great Oxygenation Event, Oxygen Catastrophe, Oxygen Crisis, Oxygen Holocaust,[2] or Oxygen Revolution, was a time period when the Earth's atmosphere and the shallow ocean first experienced a rise in oxygen, approximately 2.4 billion years ago (2.4 Ga) to 2.1–2.0 Ga during the Paleoproterozoic era.[3] Geological, isotopic, and chemical evidence suggests that biologically produced molecular oxygen (dioxygen, O2) started to accumulate in Earth's atmosphere and changed Earth's atmosphere from a weakly reducing atmosphere to an oxidizing atmosphere,[4] causing many existing species on Earth to die out.[5] The cyanobacteria producing the oxygen caused the event which enabled the subsequent development of multicellular forms.
Answer:
3.37 × 10²³ molecules
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 100 g
Number of molecules = ?
Solution:
Number of moles of C₆H₁₂O₆:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 100 g/ 180.16 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.56 mol
Number of molecules:
1 mole contain 6.022 × 10²³ molecules
0.56 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules /1 mol
3.37 × 10²³ molecules
