Answer:

Number of mole in Oxygen = 2.24 mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) = 49.2 gram

Find:

Number of moles in Oxygen

Computation:

Molecular weight of CO₂ = 44 gram (Approx)

Number of mole in CO₂ = 49.2 / 44

Number of mole in CO₂ = 1.11818182 mol

CO₂ has 2 mole of Oxygen,

So,

Number of mole in Oxygen = 2 × 1.11818182

Number of mole in Oxygen = 2.23636364

Number of mole in Oxygen = 2.24 mol
