We can start by using the molecular formula of NO, which is NO = N + O. From the formula, we can see that the molecular weight of NO is 30 g/mol (14 g/mol for nitrogen + 16 g/mol for oxygen).
To find the number of molecules of NO that contains 16 g of oxygen, we need to first calculate the number of moles of oxygen in 16 g of oxygen. Using the atomic weight of oxygen (16 g/mol), we can calculate:
moles of O = mass of O / atomic weight of O = 16 g / 16 g/mol = 1 mol
Next, we need to determine the number of moles of NO that contains 1 mol of oxygen. From the molecular formula of NO, we can see that 1 mol of NO contains 1 mol of oxygen. Therefore, the number of moles of NO that contains 1 mol of oxygen is also 1 mol.
Finally, we can use Avogadro's number to convert the number of moles of NO to the number of molecules of NO. Avogadro's number is approximately 6.02 x 10^23 molecules/mol. Therefore, the number of molecules of NO that contains 16 g of oxygen is:
number of molecules of NO = number of moles of NO x Avogadro's number
number of molecules of NO = 1 mol x 6.02 x 10^23 molecules/mol
number of molecules of NO = 6.02 x 10^23 molecules
Therefore, there are approximately 6.02 x 10^23 molecules of NO that contain 16 g of oxygen.
