Well one mole of stuff specifies 6.022×1023 individual items of stuff.....

Explanation:

But of course we must specify the item. In the first scenario we gots 0.25mol aluminium oxide, i.e. Al2O3..approx. 4.5×1023oxygen atoms...

And in the second scenario we gots 6.022×1023mol1×2×0.75mol oxygen atoms=9.0×1023oxygen atoms. So it looks like scenario 2 is the winner. And scenario 3 and 4 contain too many oxygen atoms to fulfil your given criterion.

B

Explanation:

0.75 mol sulphur dioxide = 0.75 mol of sulphur +1.5 mol of oxide

1.5 mol = 1.56.021023=9.031023

1.5 mol of oxide = 0.75 mol dioxide = 9.031023 oxygen atoms
