7 0

Answer:

There are 2 atoms in NaCl. This is because there is 1 atom of Na (sodium) and 1 atom of Cl (chlorine) in each NaCl molecule. Elements by themselves do not have a "number of atoms"- if you're talking about the atomic number, it's the number of protons (or electrons in a neutral atom) of an element.

The moles of oxygen gas (O2) that is needed is 4 moles

Explanation

2H2 +O2 → 2H2O

The moles of O2 is determined using the mole ratio of H2:O2

that is from equation above H2:O2 is 2:1

If the moles of H2 is 8 moles therefore the moles of O2

= 8 moles x 1/2 = 4 moles
