The answer is wrong because of the oxygen atoms in the question so 32/32 is 1 so therefore 1 mole will occupy 6.02*1023

i agree wii you @lahmbhe..oxygen gas has 2 atom..32/32..1 mole gives the answer B..

@myschool the selected answer is wrong, according to avogadro, one mole of any substance contains 6.o2 X 10^23 entities ( atoms or molecules), and since one mole of Oxygen is 32g (NOTE: Oxygen is diatomic) then 32g of Oxygen should contain 6.02 X 10^23 atoms and not the other way round

optiom B is right. correct it pls

I meant optom C. not B

oluwashida. U are right,de correct answer is C. we hav to find de moles b4 knowing de numba of oxygen atoms

My school, the correct answer is C because we ought to firstly calculate MOLE =32/16=2mole. So after this, to calculate the number of atoms =number of mole × the Avogadro "s constant (L) i.e 2× 6.0*10^23= 1.2×10^24 .That's option C.
