    The chemical formula for quartz is SiO₂

    Percentage by mass of oxygen = (2 x 16) x 100 / (28 + 2 x 16)

    Percentage by mass of oxygen = 53.3%

    Mass of oxygen in sample = 0.533 x 2.8

    Mass of oxygen = 1.49 grams

    Moles of oxygen = 1.49 / 16

    Moles = 0.093

    One mole contains 6.02 x 10²³ particles

    Thus, the atoms of oxygen:

    0.093 x 6.02 x 10²³

    = 5.6 x 10²²
