If 16 g of oxygen contains 1 mole of oxygen atoms, calculate the mass of one atom of oxygen.


Mass of 1 mole of oxygen = 16g
1 mole of oxygen contains 6.022 × 1023 oxygen atoms.
Mass of 6.022 × 1023 oxygen atoms = 16g
Mass of 1 oxygen atom = 16/ (6.022 × 1023)
Therefore, 1 atom of oxygen molecule weighs 2.65 × 10-23 grams.
