Solution

The correct option is C 6.022×1020
Molar mass of aluminium oxide (Al2O3)=2×27+3×16=102 g
Number of molecules of Al2O3 in
0.051 g sample= Given mass × Avogadro's numberMolar mass= 0.051 ×6.022 × 1023 102= 3.011 × 1020

The number of aluminium ions (Al3+) present in one molecule of aluminium oxide is 2.
Therefore, the number of aluminium ions (Al3+) present in 3.011×1020 molecules (0.051 g ) of aluminium oxide (Al2O3)=2×3.011×1020
=6.022×1020
