8.25 grams of O2 has 0.258 moles of Oxygen.

Here's how you figure that out:

Oxygen is one of the 7 diatomic elements, so it is normally O2

You find it's molar mass (or mass for one mole of it) by adding up two of the masses from the Periodic Table.

16.00 x 2 = 32.00g1molO2

Now, start with the given (8.25 g of O2)

8.25gO211molO232.00g=0.2578 g, round 3 sig figs
=0.258g O2
