We have 2.35 mol of calcium phosphate.
Calcium forms divalent cation Ca2+.
Phosphate ion has -3 charge with the formula .
Hence, the formula of calcium phosphate is .
Hence, 1 mol of calcium phosphate contains 8 moles of O atom.
Hence, the number of moles of oxygen atom in 2.35 mol of calcium phosphate can be calculated as
Now, 1 mol of each substance contains Avogadro's number of molecules/atoms.
Hence, the number of oxygen atoms in 18.8 mol of calcium phosphate is
Hence, there are approximately oxygen atoms in 2.35 mol of calcium phosphate.
