Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Avogadro's number

Avogadro's number $N_A = 6.022\times 10^{23}\text{ atoms/mol}$.

Step2: Calculate mass of 1 - mole of oxygen atoms

Multiply mass of one oxygen atom by Avogadro's number. Mass of one oxygen atom $m = 2.66\times 10^{-23}\text{ g}$. So mass of 1 - mole of oxygen atoms $M=m\times N_A=(2.66\times 10^{-23}\text{ g})\times(6.022\times 10^{23}\text{ atoms/mol})$. [ \begin{align*} M&=(2.66\times6.022)\text{ g/mol}\ &= 15.91852\text{ g/mol}\approx15.9\text{ g/mol} \end{align*} ]

Answer:

$15.9$
