The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given substances has the highest number of oxygen atoms in 1 gram, we will analyze each substance: \( O_2 \) (oxygen gas), \( O_3 \) (ozone), and \( O \) (atomic oxygen). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Calculate the number of moles for \( O_2 \):** - The molar mass of \( O_2 \) is \( 16 \, \text{g/mol} \times 2 = 32 \, \text{g/mol} \). - Number of moles in 1 gram of \( O_2 \): \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{1 \, \text{g}}{32 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.03125 \, \text{mol} \] 2. **Calculate the number of oxygen atoms in \( O_2 \):** - Each molecule of \( O_2 \) contains 2 oxygen atoms. - Therefore, the number of oxygen atoms in 1 gram of \( O_2 \): \[ \text{Number of atoms} = 0.03125 \, \text{mol} \times 2 \times N_A = 0.0625 \, N_A \] where \( N_A \) is Avogadro's number (\( 6.022 \times 10^{23} \)). 3. **Calculate the number of moles for \( O_3 \):** - The molar mass of \( O_3 \) is \( 16 \, \text{g/mol} \times 3 = 48 \, \text{g/mol} \). - Number of moles in 1 gram of \( O_3 \): \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{1 \, \text{g}}{48 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.02083 \, \text{mol} \] 4. **Calculate the number of oxygen atoms in \( O_3 \):** - Each molecule of \( O_3 \) contains 3 oxygen atoms. - Therefore, the number of oxygen atoms in 1 gram of \( O_3 \): \[ \text{Number of atoms} = 0.02083 \, \text{mol} \times 3 \times N_A = 0.0625 \, N_A \] 5. **Calculate the number of moles for atomic \( O \):** - The molar mass of atomic \( O \) is \( 16 \, \text{g/mol} \). - Number of moles in 1 gram of atomic \( O \): \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{1 \, \text{g}}{16 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.0625 \, \text{mol} \] 6. **Calculate the number of oxygen atoms in atomic \( O \):** - Each atom of \( O \) is a single oxygen atom. - Therefore, the number of oxygen atoms in 1 gram of atomic \( O \): \[ \text{Number of atoms} = 0.0625 \, \text{mol} \times N_A = 0.0625 \, N_A \] ### Conclusion: - For \( O_2 \): \( 0.0625 \, N_A \) oxygen atoms. - For \( O_3 \): \( 0.0625 \, N_A \) oxygen atoms. - For atomic \( O \): \( 0.0625 \, N_A \) oxygen atoms. Thus, all three substances contain the same number of oxygen atoms in 1 gram. ### Final Answer: All three substances \( O_2 \), \( O_3 \), and \( O \) have the same number of oxygen atoms in 1 gram.
