    Number of moles of oxygen atoms having equal mass as glass of water = 3.12 moles

    Note: The given question is missing some figures. Here is a complete similar question below.

    An oxygen atom has a mass of 2.66*10^-23 g and a glass of water has a mass of 0.050 kg. What is the mass of 1 mole of oxygen atoms? Round your answer to 3 significant digits. How many moles of oxygen atoms have a mass equal to the mass of a glass of water? Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

    Explanation:

    A mole of a substance contains the Avogadro number of particles = 6.02 * 10²³

    Therefore a mole of oxygen atoms contains 6.02*10²³ atoms.

    mass of 1 atom of oxygen = 2.66*10⁻²³ g

    Mass of 1 mole of oxygen atoms = mass of 1 atom * number of atoms in 1 mole

    Mass of 1 mole of oxygen atoms = 2.66*10⁻²³ g * 6.02*10²³ = 16. 01 g

    Mass of a glass of water = 0.050 Kg or 50 g

    To determine the number of moles of oxygen atoms that have a mass equal to a glass of water i. e. 50 g, the formula below is used;

    number of moles = mass/molar mass

    mass of oxygen atoms = 50 g, molar mass or mass of one mole of oxygen atoms = 16.01 g

    Therefore, number of moles of oxygen atoms = 50 g / 16.01 g = 3.12 moles
