Question 1 • LA-Chemistry A

A gas cylinder contains exactly 1 mole of oxygen gas (O2). How many molecules of oxygen are in the cylinder?

Answer
A
4.01 × 1022 molecules
B
6.02 × 1023 molecules
C
9.03 × 1024 molecules
D
2.89 × 1026 molecules

Explanation

One mole of any substance contains Avogadro’s number of particles, approximately 6.02 × 10²³. For oxygen gas, those particles are O₂ molecules, so 1 mole contains 6.02 × 10²³ molecules. The correct choice is B, 6.02 × 10²³ molecules.
