Answer:

3 atoms of O

8.57g

Explanation:

The problem here is to find the mass of oxygen in the compound and the number of atoms of oxygen.

 The formula of the compound is:

 NaHCO₃;

   Here we have:

      1 atom of Na

     1 atom of H

     1 atom of C

     3 atoms of O

So there are 3 atoms of O

To find the mass of oxygen , we use the molar mass of oxygen;

     Molar mass of oxygen  = 16g/mol

 Mass of oxygen  = [tex]\frac{3(16)}{84.01}[/tex]  x 15  = 8.57g
