How many oxygen atoms are in the chemical formula (2Fe2O3)?
A
6
B
3
C
2
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fe2O3 is the chemical formula of Iron(III) oxide which has three oxygen atoms, and two iron atoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3. This equation indicates that fifteen molecules of oxygen are needed to produce ten molecules of iron(III) oxide.

Detailed explanation-3: -How many Oxygen atoms are in the chemical formula of 2Fe2O3 6 oxygen atoms on the left hand side of the equation; and, equally clearly, there are 6 oxygen atoms on the right hand side of the equation, as indeed there must be in a stoichiometrically balanced equation.

Detailed explanation-4: -3O2 contains six atoms of oxygen. 3O(2) contains six atoms of oxygen. One molecule of calcium oxide contains three atoms. Formula of nitrogen dioxide is NO(2).

Detailed explanation-5: -2O2 represents two molecules of oxygen.
