THIRUPATHI REDDY · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: [A]
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Mole concept and Avogadro's number
	**Related Topics**: Chemical formulas, atoms, molecules
	**Prerequisites**: Understanding of moles, Avogadro's number, and chemical formulas
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	One mole of CO2
	Avogadro's number =  $6.02 	imes 10^{23}$
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Determine the number of molecules in one mole of CO2
		Reasoning: One mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.)
		Formula/Rule: Number of entities = 1 mole * Avogadro's number
	2. Calculate the number of CO2 molecules
		Working: 1 mole CO2 = $6.02 	imes 10^{23}$ molecules of CO2
		Key Point: This is not what the question asks.
	3. Determine the number of carbon atoms in one mole of CO2
		Reasoning: Each molecule of CO2 contains one carbon atom
		Working: Since there are $6.02 	imes 10^{23}$ CO2 molecules and each molecule contains one carbon atom, there are $6.02 	imes 10^{23}$ carbon atoms
	4. Determine the number of oxygen atoms in one mole of CO2
		Reasoning: Each molecule of CO2 contains two oxygen atoms
		Working: Since there are $6.02 	imes 10^{23}$ CO2 molecules and each molecule contains two oxygen atoms, there are $2 * 6.02 	imes 10^{23}$ oxygen atoms.
	5. Final answer
		Result: The correct answer is A, $6.02 	imes 10^{23}$ atoms of C
		Verification: Answer A is correct based on the calculations.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: Correct. One mole of $CO_2$ contains $6.02 	imes 10^{23}$ molecules and therefore $6.02 	imes 10^{23}$ atoms of carbon.
[B] :x: Incorrect. One mole of $CO_2$ contains $2 * 6.02 	imes 10^{23}$ atoms of oxygen.
[C] :x: Incorrect. One mole of $CO_2$ contains $6.02 	imes 10^{23}$ molecules of $CO_2$.
[D] :x: Incorrect. Option A is correct.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Error 1]: Confusing molecules and atoms: It's important to distinguish between the number of molecules and the number of atoms of each element in a compound.
		2.[Error 2]: Incorrect calculation of oxygen atoms: Remember that each CO2 molecule has 2 oxygen atoms, so you must multiply the number of molecules by 2 to find the number of oxygen atoms.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Helpful shortcut]: When calculating atoms in molecules, multiply the number of molecules by the subscript of the atom in the formula.
		2.[Memory aid]: Avogadro's number is the link between moles and the number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.).
