Expert Solution
Step 1 Moles and atoms of Oxygen

Given:  4*1014 molecules of H₃PO4

            Molecular weight of H₃PO= MH3PO4 = 98 g/mol

Required: Moles and atoms of Oxygen in 4*1014 molecules of H₃PO=?

Solution: 

A molecule of H₃POcontains: 3 H, 1 P, and 4 Oxygen atoms

Thus, 4*1014 molecules of H₃PO4  contains:   4×1014×4 = 16×1014  Oxygen atoms   (Answer A)
