    Two flasks I and II contain oxygen \[\text{(}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{)}\]and ozone \[\text{(}{{\text{O}}_{3}}\text{)}\] respectively. Flask I contains 0.5 mole of oxygen while flask II contains 0.4 mole of ozone. Which of the two flasks have greater number of oxygen atoms?

    A) Flask II containing ozone has greater number of oxygen atoms as compared to flask I.

    B) Flask I containing oxygen has greater number of oxygen atoms as compared to flask II.

    C) Both flasks I and II have same number of oxygen atoms.

    D) Number of atoms of oxygen cannot be calculated from the available data.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    1 mole of \[{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\] contains \[\text{2}\times \text{6}\text{.022}\times \text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{23}}}\]oxygen atoms 0.5 mole of \[{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\] contains \[\text{2}\times \text{6}\text{.022}\times \text{1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{23}}}\times 0.\text{5}\]  oxygen atoms i.e., \[6.022\times {{10}^{23}}\] oxygen atoms 1 mole of \[{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\] contains \[3\times 6.022\times {{10}^{23}}\] oxygen atoms \[0.4\text{ mole}\] of \[{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\] contains \[\text{3}\times \text{6}\text{.022}\times \text{1}{{\text{0}}^{23}}\times 0.4\] oxygen atoms i.e., \[7.2264\times {{10}^{23}}\] oxygen atoms Thus, flask II containing ozone has greater number of oxygen atoms as compared to flask I containing oxygen.
