Best Answer

One molecule of CO2 has one carbon atom and two oxygen toms. denoted by the formula CO2

So in two molecules of CO2 there are CO2 & another CO2 .

Chemically this is shown as 2CO2, that is a figure is placed to the left of the molecular formula.

Since there are CO2 & another CO2 , then there are two(2) atoms of carbon and four(4) atoms of oxygen.

Carbon dioxide: CO2. The number to the right of the symbol for an element indicates how many atoms of that element are present in single molecule. If there is no number then there is one atom present. Then in the case of carbon dioxide there must be one atom of carbon (C) and two atoms of oxygen (O).

Double these to provide the numbers of atoms of the two elements in two molecules: two of carbon, four of oxygen.

How many moles of oxygen atoms are present in one half mole of carbon dioxide molecules?

Since each mole of carbon dioxide molecules contains two moles of oxygen atoms, as indicated by the formula CO2 for carbon dioxide, half a mole of carbon dioxide will have one mole of oxygen atoms.
