Title: Number of oxygen atoms in 1 mole of ozone O3
Post by: shehri on April 09, 2007, 11:33:20 AM
I'm a bit confused about total number of atoms in one mole of ozone O3.I guess that it must be 3Xavogadro numbers since there're 3 moles of Oxygen in O3.Plz. point me in the right way.Thanks.

1 mole of Ozone is 6.0221415 × 10^23 molecules.

Ozone consists of 3 atoms of Oxygen. So yeah just multiply Avogadro's constant by 3.

Edit: Changed molecules to atoms.

No Ozone consists of 3 ATOMS of Oxygen (One molecule of Oxygen is O2)

<nitpicking>O3 is oxygen molecule as well</nitpicking> ;)
