To calculate the mass of 5.23 moles of diatomic oxygen (O₂), you first need to know the molar mass of O₂. The molar mass of a diatomic oxygen molecule can be calculated by adding the atomic mass of oxygen:
- Atomic mass of oxygen (O) = approximately 16.00 g/mol
- Since O₂ has two oxygen atoms: Molar mass of O₂ = 2 × 16.00 g/mol = 32.00 g/mol
Now, you can calculate the mass using the formula:
\[
\text{mass} = \text{number of moles} \times \text{molar mass}
\]
\[
\text{mass} = 5.23 \, \text{moles} \times 32.00 \, \text{g/mol}
\]
\[
\text{mass} = 167.36 \, \text{grams}
\]
Therefore, the mass of 5.23 moles of diatomic oxygen (O₂) is **167.36 grams**.
