Solution

The correct option is B 9.033×1020
Mass of one mole of Al2O3=2×27+3×16=102 g

Since, 102 g of Al2O3 =6.022×1023 molecules of Al2O3

Then, 0.051 g of Al2O3 contains
=0.051102×6.022×1023 molecules of Al2O3
=3.011×1020 molecules of Al2O3

[We know, The number of atoms present in given mass = (Given mass ÷ molar mass) × Avogadro number]

One molecule of Al2O3 contains 3 atoms of oxygen
3.011×1020 molecules contains =3×3.011×1020=9.033×1020 atoms of oxygen
