The mass of oxygen is 236.4 g.
Explanation:
To find the mass of oxygen in 325 g of carbon dioxide (CO₂) we follow the next algorithm.
First we calculate the molar weight of carbon dioxide:
molar weight of CO₂ = molar weight of carbon × 1 + molar weight of oxygen × 2
molar weight of CO₂ = 12 × 1 + 16 × 2 = 44 g/mole
Now we devise the following reasoning:
if in 44 g of CO₂ there are 32 g of oxygen
then in 325 g of CO₂ there are X g of oxygen
X = (32 × 325) / 44 = 236.4 g oxygen
